Welcome!
Our PreK program helps students develop their social-emotional, physical and cognitive skills. Our curriculum is aligned to the Arizona Early Learning Standards, which were developed for all children 3-5 years of age. These standards serve as a guide in providing a quality program that is developmentally appropriate for each child.
My Education and Professional Background
I have taught PreK at Hartford since 2021. I've taught in Arizona since 2017. I began teaching in 2014 in Pennsylvania, where I taught PreK, Kinder, and 2nd grade. I have a Bachelor's degree in English, and I hold an Early Childhood Teaching Certificate in both Arizona and Pennsylvania.
My Educational Philosophy
I believe students learn in an environment that encourages, supports, and teaches students to persevere when challenges arise. My job is to help teach students academic and social skills to prepare for Kindergarten. My classroom focuses on hands-on, student-centered activities. I believe children thrive in a structured environment that has high expectations.
