Beth Eubanks founder of Tiny Topa Infant Atelier

Founder & Educational Philosophy

With more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education and RIE® CERTIFIED, I bring a deep understanding of child development, respectful caregiving, and the importance of the early years. Since earning my degree in Early Childhood Education in 1998, my work has spanned every aspect of the field—from the infant classroom to school administration—including serving as a director of infant-toddler curriculum, owning and operating childcare programs, and working as an early interventionist alongside speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists.

My experience also includes facilitating parent-and-child playgroups, leading Mommy & Me classes, and completing the RIE® Foundations course. As both an educator and a mother of two, I have seen firsthand how a thoughtfully prepared environment and a respectful, play-based approach can nurture a child’s confidence, curiosity, and natural desire to learn.

These experiences inspired me to establish Tiny Topa Infant Atelier—a space rooted in open-ended play, meaningful exploration, and a deep respect for each child’s individuality. My vision extends beyond the classroom to support the entire family, working alongside early childhood specialists to create an enriching environment for children and a trusted network of resources for parents and caregivers.
