After spending several years teaching adults, Ms. Jen decided the real action was in preschool.  She first joined Little Learners two years ago as a substitute teacher for all three classrooms.  Now she serves as the teaching assistant for the three-year-olds.  Her philosophy is to provide a patient, nurturing, and fun environment where each student has the opportunity to thrive.  Ms. Jen is soft spoken, caring, and you will always find her on the floor playing and working hands-on with the children.  Away from work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, two daughters, and dog as well as playing tennis and reading.
