I am blessed to have Siobhan Clancy 'Miss Siobhan' as my full day

nurturing, interactive and fun lady who has many years experience with the
preschool. Jim Franklin, 'Mr. Jim' is with us in the AM sessions to assist
with individuals who require extra support. He worked with me last year and
knows the classroom routines and expectations well. We also have 'Miss
Samantha', our wonderful intern who assist in the classroom and cover for
