Hedgehog Hideaway


Pre-K

WELCOME TO HEDGEHOG HIDEAWAY!

At Hedgehog Hideaway, play is at the heart of everything we do. Through both free choice and teacher-guided activities, children discover the world around them while engaging in hands-on literacy, math, and science experiences each day.

Our classroom also nurtures social and emotional growth, giving children opportunities to build confidence, practice cooperation, and form lasting friendships.

Throughout the year, we encourage independence by practicing daily routines like clean-up, circle time, and self-care skills. These small but meaningful responsibilities help children feel capable, proud, and an important part of the classroom community.

We can’t wait to partner with you in supporting your child’s growth and learning, and we’re excited to welcome your family into the Little Acorn community!

Meet the Teachers

  • LEAD TEACHER

    Hi! I’m Sally, and I’m so happy to be part of the Little Acorn community. 

     
    I have a BA in Education from Eastern Washington University.  I’ve been teaching preschool for many years, with a few years off in between to raise my children. 

    I’ve taught in several different settings including international schools in Singapore and Italy, and for Head Start.  I’ve learned so many things along the way, and love the special joy that comes from working with young children.  The excitement of a child learning something new just never gets old! 

    I believe in creating a warm, supportive classroom where every child feels loved and valued.  I believe in creating an environment where children feel proud of themselves, where they can safely take chances and try new things, where learning is fun, and accomplishment is celebrated. 

    I have two grown children, and five wonderful grandchildren, two of which are Little Acorn students.  I love spending time with them, and they love coming to “Grandma’s house.”  I love to bake, to read, and to travel around the Pacific Northwest after so many years away. 

    I look forward to a wonderful year full of playing, learning, exploring, dancing, reading, singing and laughing with the Hedgehog class.
