I am a native Californian, born and raised in the Bay Area. I attended a Califronia university, earning a BA in Languages and Child Psychology. I continued my education, taking Early Childhood Education classes and seminars. I have two grown children who are St. Timothy's Preschool Graduates.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to teach. Playing school was a childhood pastime. At age12, I gave ballet classes to neighborhood children. At 14, I tutored at the elementary school. At 16, I taught at a local ballet school. As a young adult, I taught Sunday School, volunteered at Morgan Center and Zonta (schools for the emotionally disabled), and developed a Nutrition Program for the Saratoga School District.

My connection with St. Timothy's Preschool began when I was investigating preschools for my son. At St. Tim's, I saw happy, engaged, peaceful, and caring children. As an educator, I knew that the teacher had fostered these attitudes. I registered him that day! He loved his St. Tim's experience, and I made and continue to enjoy lasting friendships with the parents of the friends my children had in the preschool. When my daughter was a student at St. Tim's, I was asked to be a substitute teacher. In 1978, I joined the staff as a teacher. Five years later, I became the director.

In 1991, I developed the Science Program, a unique, multi-intelligences, and literature-based science curriculum for pre-kindergarteners. It is a popular class and well known in the community.

Please feel free to call me at the church, (650) 967-4724, with questions about the Preschool. I would be happy to show you our facility, and talk about your needs and those of your child. I hope to meet you soon.
