Amber Lappin is a captivating and charismatic speaker and writer with nearly 30 years of experience in early childhood development. She enjoys "small town" Southern California living with her husband Jason (since 1991) and their three grown children.

 

It could be said that Amber is a closet daredevil who loves roller-coasters and school supplies but never at the same time. Her life on the edge includes being an "Edu-tainer" – Educating others in a way that's both entertaining and informative.  

 

Amber graduated summa cum laude from Hope International University, holds a B.S. in Human Development, and a M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University.  She is currently a doctoral candidate at American College of Education.

 

Her current position as professor in the School of Education and Teacher Preparation at Riverside City College is one of her favorite job yet. She's able to use the years of working in the field as a preschool teacher, administrator, and traveling teaching and consulting to help equip educators of the next generation. 

 

Amber has honed her speaking style using humor and real-life examples to be relatable, realistic, and encouraging. She loves traveling and teaching at schools and churches around the country. Amber describes the core of her teaching as, "Changing people's heart perspective- not just what to do, but helping them understand why it's important to make the effort."
