ASHLEE ROSE
Ashlee Rose grew up in Castle Rock, Colorado ... where she first began working with children at an early age. Throughout high school her talent in theatre and dance put her on stage more often than others, and eventually sent her to study and perform at the Fringe Festival in Scotland for a summer. In 2007, at the age of 18 Ashlee made plans to move to Los Angeles, California and pursue a career in film acting. A year later she graduated from New York Film Academy’s Intensive Acting Program.
Assistant Manager at Froggy’s, Ashlee loves all aspects of Froggy's. If you don’t find her on the big screen she’s probably in the Froggy’s studio, working a birthday party and teaching various classes, Story Art and Froggy’s Summer Camp.
"I'm honored to be part of the Froggy's team and look forward to working with children and teaching them self confidence and spunk through various aspects of art!"

EMILY SKELTON
Emily has always been a talker, as well as a listener. To Emily, communicating is a key part of building any relationship. In fact, that is one of the reasons she is currently in graduate school getting a Masters not only in Marriage and Family Therapy, but also in Art & Drama Therapy - because she knows people like to express themselves in more ways than one. This is way Emily, an Independent Certified Instructor with Baby Signs®, loves the program so much – because it helps babies tell you not only when they want more, or when they hurt, but also what’s on their minds!
