Pre-K Assistant
Mrs. Ferguson

Mrs. Ferguson has been an assistant Pre- K teacher with Little Shepherd Preschool since 2012. Educated and trained for Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis awareness and informal special needs education and support.
​
Philosophy on teaching:
Being blessed with a neurodivergent child solidifies my philosophy that children do not all learn the same way or at the same pace. “Slow & steady wins the race”. Visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile, social learners etc....I am here for you all.
Preschool Assistant
Mrs. Johnson
Experience:
Mrs. Johnson has been involved with the preschool as a parent and a board member since her oldest started preschool in 2014, and became an assistant in early 2022. Her children are now 11 and 8 and loved creating memories and long lasting friendships during their preschool years.
Philosophy on teaching:
Mrs. Johnson wants her students to learn how to problem solve and grow into empowered young people who can communicate their needs and wants.
