Mrs. Palmer's Co-Op journey started in 2021 when her son, Ewan, joined Mrs. Krochune's class. Her daughter joined in 2023 also with Mrs. Krochune. Both children loved the co-op so much, she was happy to become a substitute teacher when they had the need. 

Mrs. Palmer has worked with children since she was a teenager, volunteering as a leader with both the Girl Guides and Scouts in the UK. She also has worked at a girls' summer camp in Maine for 10 years.
