Meet The Owner
Hi, I’m Jacquelyn Delp and I love calling Albuquerque home. I’m a local educator, reading tutor, and literacy coach, and I’m also a positive behavior specialist and the author of The Behavior Management Handbook for a Balanced Approach. My book helps families guide their children to build good habits while growing their connection.
I love helping kids gain confidence, enjoy reading, and develop strong behavior skills while giving parents tools that really work. I also love my community which is why I started The 505 Family Post, a newsletter that shares fun things for families to do in Albuquerque and ways to connect with our city.
When I’m not teaching or writing, I enjoy cooking with my husband, hiking with my dog, and exploring all the amazing things Albuquerque has to offer.
Together we can help your child grow, thrive, and feel proud while connecting families across our community.
