Upcoming Field Trip!

*Don't forget there is no preschool on November 11th in honor of Veterans Day. We are privileged to have several fathers of our preschool kids who are serving in the military. THANK YOU!

We are going on a field trip on November 16th to the new fire station located at:

Rincon Valley Fire Department

‎

14550 East Sands Ranch Road

Vail, AZ 85641-8862

(520) 647-3760

We are so excited about visiting this fire station, the firemen are really good at engaging the children. We will be meeting at our preschool at our normal time of 9:00am, then we will have the parents fill out a permission slip for transportaion and the excursion. Mrs. Robin and I will transport the children in our cars to the firehouse for our 10:00am scheduled tour. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Teacher

I grew up in Tucson and love the Sonoran desert. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2000 with a communication degree with a minor in sociology. I have 5 children and opened a preschool in my home to teach them as well as other eager children. This is my 10th year teaching preschool. I have taught over 200 students. I genuinely love children and find their curiosity, acceptance and energy contagious. One of my passions is to see children reach their full potential and to have them understand their self worth. I love to coach children and youth in athletics to watch up close their personal growth. I teach with humor, funny songs, repetition, play, encouragement and student driven discovery. My goal is to help students feel at home with an environment that is fun, inclusive and a safe place to learn.
