Hello &
Welcome to the 2023/2024 school year,
I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and seeing old friends. Let me start by telling you a little
about myself. I have an AA degree in Early Childhood Education and have been teaching at SVPA since 2003. I started as an
aide, as we grew I became a lead teacher. I began my career in So. California, where I grew up. I knew that teaching was going
to be part of my life since I was a child. The thrill of discovering something new has always been one of my greatest joys.
I believe that learning is the ultimate adventure. I worked as a tutor while going to college & the first time I taught
a child to read I changed my major & never looked back. I moved to Washington to be close to family. I have lived in the
Northwest since 1997 with my husband and daughter, Zoey (24) who recently got married. I also have a son Ethan (27) who is
married to a wondrful young lady named Ashley, they lives in Arizona with my Grandpuppy Nugget. My husband and I have a cat,
Ryu, & a dog, Winston, Shepard Akita mix.
I
think we at SVPA have a great school not just because of our wonderful, caring staff but because we believe in letting children
learn their way. Everyone sees the world with a different perspective, children are no different. When given lots of opportunity
to explore & discover at their pace they see that learning is fun. We believe that physical activity is beneficial to
the learning process that is why we provide 30 min. of freeplay at the beginning of class as well as a 30 min. gymnastics
at the end of class everyday. I know that as the year progresses you will fall in love with SVPA just as I have. Here's to
a great year full of adventure, discovery & fun!
Miss Lynnette
