Allison McDonald

Allison McDonald B.A, B.Ed, M.S. is a preschool teacher, blogger, speaker, and author. She founded her early education website, No Time For Flash Cards, in 2008 when she stepped out of the classroom to raise her children. She started writing about early education because she missed teaching and wanted to share her knowledge with other parents and teachers. She happily returned to the preschool classroom in 2014.

In addition to her website, she has written regularly for Scholastic Parents on their Raise A Reader blog and for PBS Parents. Helping parents help their children learn is one of her true passions. She lives in a yellow farmhouse full of books on an island outside of Seattle with her husband and two children.
