Local preschool hires new teacher
The Mapleton Preschool welcomes the appointment of new teacher Amy Robinson (RECE).
She recently moved to Drayton from Elmira with her husband and two children and is very excited about teaching in a small town community setting.
Robinson graduated from Conestoga College in 2005 in Early Childhood Education and has been actively teaching, most recently at the University of Waterloo children’s program.
The focus for her will be to help students develop strong social and communication skills while preparing them for kindergarten, along with an emphasis on literacy. She intends to accomplish this by using a “play-base” curriculum which encourages having fun while learning. Robinson notes preschool is an excellent stepping stone not only for kindergarten, but for life.
The Mapleton Preschool is a co-operative venture run by a board of directors, a teacher/supervisor and volunteers. The school is always looking for volunteers, and is open to high school students looking to complete community hours.
Offering morning classes and located in the Community Christian School in Drayton, the school provides early learning for children aged two to five.
To meet Robinson, or find out more about the school call 519-638-3331 or email mapletonpreschoolteacher@gmail.com.
