Puffin Class - Pre-K for Young 4 year olds

Our Puffin Class is led by Laura and Ashley. The Puffin room is for the younger 4 year old's. When there is a need in the community, we are able to split the two rooms into older and younger pre k rooms.

Laura is the Lead Teacher. She enjoys boating, exploring the beach, going to theater /dance shows and spending time with her husband and three children. Laura's philosophy in teaching children is “The classroom should be a safe and caring community where we learn, explore and play together. Laura joined our school in 2020.

Ashley is the Assistant Teacher. She enjoys spending time at the lake and beach, kayaking, hiking, and spending quality time with her boys. Her teaching philosophy is "Every child deserves a fun, creative, and safe environment to spark their love for learning, playing, and self expression". Ashley joined our school in 2019.


Our Puffin room has a three day minimum enrollment policy.
