Coe traveled extensively in the United States to give courses of lectures and conduct training classes in normal schools. For example, she is credited with introducing the kindergarten system to North Carolina as a regular teacher in 1878 and 1879 at the University of North Carolina's annual summer normal school (established in 1877). In this role, she was the first woman to teach classes at the university. She was editor and proprietor of the "American Kindergarten Magazine," president of the American Kindergarten Society, and a life member of the National Teachers' Association.
