Annual Report - Newbury

In June, we graduated seven students and wished them well in
kindergarten and from what we hear they are thriving in the
big school. Over the summer, we welcomed two new teachers
to our preschool family. Heather Smith joined the preschool as
our lead teacher. She moved to the Kearsarge area in 2003 to
attend Colby-Sawyer College. After graduating with her BA
in early childhood education, she worked in the public school
systems in Sunapee and New London. Whitney Temple
became our new assistant teacher. She recently graduated
from Washington and Jefferson College where she majored in
child development and education. While at school, Whitney
played four years of collegiate field hockey, traveled to the
Amazon, and became a huge Pittsburgh sports fan. Heather
and Whitney have brought enthusiasm and many fresh new
ideas to the preschool. In November, we were deeply
saddened when cancer claimed the life of a very dear preschool
supporter and board member. We miss you, Mary Ann.
The Kearsarge Area Preschool takes great pleasure in
providing an affordable, high quality early childhood program.
Our curriculum promotes social, emotional, physical and
intellectual growth through developmentally appropriate
materials and activities. Each day, we are awed and inspired to
view life through the eyes of preschoolers. Thank you for
sharing your children with us.
