LITTLE People, Big World alum Tori Roloff has quietly taken on a new gig after stepping away from reality TV.
When fans first met Tori, 34, she was a kindergarten teacher who also worked on the Roloff’s famed pumpkin farm.

However, the former TV personality put her career on hold in 2017 to focus on caring for her three children: Jackson, 8; Lilah, 5; and Josiah, 3, whom she shares with her husband, Zach Roloff, 35.
Now, Tori is returning to the classroom as a pre-school teacher at a Christian School near the family’s $1million Battle Ground, Washington, home.
The school confirmed that Tori had joined their teaching roster in a Facebook post shared on Wednesday.
The post also included a blurb about the mom of three, though it didn’t mention her reality TV past.
Instead, the paragraph highlighted Tori’s six years of teaching experience and her hobbies, such as “photography, making sourdough, and staying active with our kids.”
THE END OF AN ERA
Tori’s teaching comeback comes a little over a year after TLC canceled LPBW after 25 seasons.
The series showed signs that it was nearing its end in its last few seasons, while tension ran amongst the family over the potential sale of the farm.
The family’s divide became a significant storyline on the show, as Zach and Tori voiced their frustrations with the Roloff patriarch, Matt, 63, for turning down their offer to purchase the property.
Things got so heated that Zach and Tori distanced themselves from the situation altogether and moved out of state.
In November, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the show got the boot, but many were “ready for it to be over.”
Matt’s then-fiancée, Caryn, 58, in particular, was looking forward to the show’s end, as a source said her partner “couldn’t stop himself from doing more seasons.”
However, it might not have come soon enough as Matt announced last month that the pair had called it quits after eight years together.
LPBW first aired in 2006, starring Matt, his then-wife Amy, 62, and their four children: twins Zach and Jeremy, a daughter, Molly, 31, and a son, Jacob, 28.
Even before the series’ cancellation, Zach and Tori had already made up their minds that they weren’t returning after Season 25.

“We are not coming back to ‘Little People Big World,’” Tori revealed on their podcast, Raising Heights.
“Like, we are done. That part of our lives, that chapter has closed.”
Zach then explained that part of the reason for stepping back was that their kids had expressed a desire not to film anymore, and they wanted to respect their privacy.
The decision was also seemingly influenced by the rift still brewing within the family, as Zach shared on the final episode that his and Matt’s relationship was still rocky.
These days, the youngest Roloff sibling, Jacob, is running the farm, although Matt remains the sole owner.
A portion of the farm remains on the market, nearly $3million below the initial asking price.
