Jennifer Pritchard – 2 Year Old Preschool Teacher
I have 17 years of experience working with children under 12. I started my career working in a small in home family child care, to being a private nanny to working in licensed center based childcare. I was a 2 year old teacher for 3 years, a preschool teacher for 4 years, an assistant director for 3 years and a center director for almost 5 years. I love the gift of teaching and enjoy the time I get to be with young children as they blossom and grow. I believe that a child’s first 5 years of life are the most important as we get to build the basic building blocks to their future. Nurturing them to love learning, experience new things and being apart of a community based school who wants to make a difference in their life. In my spare time, I love to volunteer, attend church, cook, read and spend time with my family. I have just recently moved to the Merced/Atwater area and I am excited to call it home.
