Dear Hibben Preschool Families,
I am so excited and honored to introduce myself as the new Director of Hibben Preschool! As we look ahead to the fall, I am filled with excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to work with your children and families. Hibben Preschool is such a special place, and I am truly looking forward to being part of this wonderful community in this new role.
For those who may not know me, I have had the joy of teaching the 4k class at Hibben for the past four years. I have a degree in Elementary Education and have also taught 4th and 5th grade. My time in the classroom has allowed me to experience firsthand what makes this preschool so special: the incredible children, dedicated teachers, supportive families, and the loving environment we create together.
Stepping into the role of Director is a new and exciting chapter for me. I am especially looking forward to pouring my love, energy, and passion into our children to make sure each child feels loved and valued. I believe these early years are very important, and it is a privilege to be a part of them.
Outside of school, I am a mom to three children who definitely keep me busy! My oldest daughter just started college at the University of Kentucky, my son just started high school at Lucy Beckham, and my youngest daughter is in school at Belle Hall Elementary. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and fiancé, listening to live music, traveling, getting lost in a good book, and playing pickleball or tennis whenever I can.
I cannot wait to meet our new families, reconnect with those I’ve gotten to know over the years, and welcome everyone back for another wonderful school year. I look forward to building relationships with each of you. My prayer is that this school year is full of fun, growth, laughter, learning, and building lifelong memories. Please know that my door is always open. Thank you for trusting us with your precious children. I’m so excited for all that the coming year has in store!
Blessing,
Ashley Vaughan
