Meet Your Teacher:

Ms. MaryAnn

Hi! I'm Ms. MaryAnn and for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a teacher.

I have been a Preschool/Pre-K teacher for 6 years and I absolutely LOVE the 3-6 year old age! I truly have a passion for teaching these kiddos and watching them learn and grow! These little ones live life to the fullest and are like sponges ready to soak up all they can when it comes to life and learning. I love building relationships with these amazing kiddos and helping them learn all they can, to give them the best start I can to their educational career! I have seen Kindergarteners struggle and fall behind simply because they were not equipped with basic skills they needed to love learning and thrive. If I can further their love of learning and encourage them to continue connecting with others, then I have succeeded!

With us, your little one will get the chance to to learn how to express their emotions, have the opportunity to be heard, and get the one on one attention they deserve, so they get the best start to their education as possible before...or during... Kindergarten.

We are proud to offer a learning environment that is exciting, engaging, and equipped with lessons that can have your child continue their love for learning. Along with our experience, we do have our IVP Fingerprint Clearance Cards, and we are CPR & 1st Aid Certified.

Top 6 Reasons You'll Love Us

Check Out Our Premier Program!

#1: We Care About You!

Our friendly manner of open communication helps you feel wanted, needed, and appreciated. Our warm, home-like atmosphere sets the standard for how you’ll feel treated as we quickly address your questions and concerns. We can't wait to get to know you better at our Meet 'n Greet before school starts!

#2: Your Child will Make Close Friends!

Our small classes of just 4-5 children allows your child to be comfortable and grow valuable friendships with the other preschoolers and teacher. Because conflict-resolution skills are super vital to learn at this age, We help your child work through their problems with other children. Pretty soon they’re using the same strategies and words we’ve taught them, all by themselves!

#3: Your child will be more than ready for Kinder!

Your child will receive individualized instruction through our thorough assessments and curriculum. We will guide your child in the areas they need to improve, and challenge them when they’re ready for more. Our balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities follows the NAEYC guidelines to strengthen your whole child’s development: Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical.

#4: We keep your child healthy & safe!

Teaching children is a huge responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously! Not only are we CPR/1st Aid Certified and have an IVP fingerprint clearance card, but our distinct policies and procedures regarding health and safety help to keep your child in a safe, clean environment. We’re constantly cleaning, washing hands, and monitoring all activities to prevent any accidents.

#5: Your child will love our preschool!

We'll help your child come out of his/her shell, gain self confidence, and grow in all areas of development. I'm excited to help your child grow and learn!

#6: We celebrate with graduation!
