Teacher Tuesday highlight Meghan Carroll pre-k teacher!
This will be my 5th year at FUMCP. My favorite aspect is the co-op model. I love getting to know not only the children but building those relationships with the families as well. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family doing anything outdoors. We enjoy hiking, biking and I love reading. Fun fact - I love art & creating!

This is my 6th year at the preschool.  My favorite thing about FUMC is seeing the confidence in these little pre-k’ers progress throughout the year and then their excitement at the end to move onto the next chapter!
In my free time I love to spend time with my husband and two daughters. I like to have fun and go on adventures but also love to be at my home. I love to watch my girls’ sports teams especially summertime swim! I also love to read, cook and try and new recipes. Fun fact about myself: I was a competitive figure skater when I was younger!
