🍄📣Teacher Feature Tuesday!📣🍄
We’re back with another teacher spotlight! 💕 This time, we’re shining the spotlight on our amazing Preschool Lead Teacher, Ms. Lizzy!

You’ll most often find Ms. Lizzy helping our young preschoolers learn, explore, and grow as they take on new challenges and build important skills. When summer rolls around, she switches gears and takes on our biggest kiddos for Summer Camp! ☀️

She truly is a jack of all trades and is always willing to jump in wherever she’s needed. We’re so lucky to have Ms. Lizzy as part of our MFSA family! ❤️

🐶📣Teacher Feature Tuesday!📣🐱
Were back with our next teacher! Our fantastic Executive Director/ Owner, double duty Pre-K teacher, Ms. Cassie! For most of the year you will find her teaching her Pre- K students all they need to know before kindergarden 📚🎓and in the summers she can be found just about any where her director duties take her. She pours her heart into our facility day in and day out! We would be no where without her! Thank you Ms. Cassie for all that you do !❤️
