Lead Teacher

Jenn is a passionate early educator with nearly 20 years of experience teaching children aged 3-9 in a variety of settings. She partners with families to advocate strongly for their children.

She empowers children to manage risk-taking, become fully developed members of a healthy community of learners and challenges their academic strengths while gently encouraging their needs. A vocal advocate of the importance of play, Jenn creates a learning environment that allows for investigation and discovery, develops critical thinking skills, promotes emotional regulation, and fosters literacy skills with rich language experiences.
