The Center for the Development of Children
Puffin Class - Pre-K for Young 4 year olds
Our Puffin Class is led by Laura and Megan. The Puffin room is for the younger 4 year old's. When there is a need in the community, we are able to split the two rooms into older and younger pre k rooms.
Laura is the Lead Teacher. She enjoys boating, exploring the beach, going to theater /dance shows and spending time with her husband and three children. Laura's philosophy in teaching children is “The classroom should be a safe and caring community where we learn, explore and play together. Laura joined our school in 2020.
Megan is the Assistant Teacher. She enjoys hiking, kayaking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. Megan has been teaching at the CDC since 2020 and her personal teaching philosophy is, ”Children learn best through play and exploration."
Our Puffin room has a three day minimum enrollment policy.
