Welcome from Miss Nancy

​

Hello Parents,

​

My name is Miss Nancy, and I am delighted to welcome you and your child to our Infant Classroom. I am truly excited to begin this special journey of learning, growth, and development with your baby.

​

I have over 14 years of experience in the childcare field and have worked with children from infancy through school age. Throughout my career, I discovered that my true passion and specialty is working with infants. I have worked in a variety of early childhood settings with diverse family structures, cultures, and backgrounds, and I also bring experience supporting children with special needs.

​

One of the greatest joys of my work is witnessing each child reach milestones at their own unique pace. I am honored to support and celebrate those achievements alongside families. While I am fully committed to keeping your baby safe, nurtured, and cared for, I am equally passionate about creating developmentally appropriate learning experiences, even at the infant level.

​

Everything we do in the classroom has purpose. For example, simple activities like peek-a-boo help infants develop object permanence, strengthen visual tracking, support gross motor skills, and encourage early social development. These intentional experiences help build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

​

I truly enjoy building meaningful relationships with both my students and their families. Open communication is essential, and I always welcome parent input and collaboration, as you know your child best.

​

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with questions, concerns, or suggestions no matter how small they may seem. I look forward to partnering with you and sharing in your child’s growth during this exciting stage of development.

​

Warmly,
Miss Nancy

Welcome from Miss Jessica

​

Hello!

​

My name is Jessica, and I have been working in early childhood education since 2015, with over 14 years of experiencesupporting children from infancy through school age. Throughout my career, I discovered my true passion lies in preschool and Pre-K, where I love guiding children as they grow, explore, and reach developmental milestones at their own pace.

​

I have experience working with children from diverse family backgrounds, including children with special needs, and I take pride in creating developmentally appropriate, engaging curriculum that supports social, emotional, and cognitive development.

​

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that children learn best in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environmentwhere they feel valued, confident, and encouraged to explore. Through purposeful play, hands-on learning, and meaningful interactions, I strive to foster curiosity, independence, and strong foundational skills that support lifelong learning.

​

I am currently completing my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and am just two classes away from graduation. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy music, dancing, spending time with friends and family, and visiting York Beach, Maine whenever the weather allows.

​

I look forward to continuing to grow alongside the children and families I work with each day and feel grateful to be part of your child’s learning journey.

​

Warmly,
Miss Jessica
