Jennifer has been with the program since the inception of the Integrated Preschool and has been teaching Integrated Preschool overall for over 17 years. Prior to her days in preschool, she taught kindergarten and second grades.

Preschool has become Jen’s niche. She is amazed each day at how young children evolve and grow. Her passion is in creating curriculum and materials that get the kids jazzed about learning.

Jen grew up in Acton but now resides in Lunenburg. When she is not playing with or chasing her two young children, Jillian and Tyler, she enjoys swimming, working outside on her gardens, helping her husband with home improvment projects, and reading.
