At Jump Up Preschool we teach at a higher level (beyond preschool).  Physical activity combined with Curriculum based on both montessori and active learning styles for body & mind where your child will discover their own unique super powers.

Children learn best by DOING!

Children will explore the magnificent worlds of science, nature, spatial, arts and music with hands on projects where they will learn for themselves to ask questions and find the answers.

Actively engaged children learning phonics, early reading, writing, and math concepts at a kindergarten level by using proven educational materials with "one on one" teacher guidance rather than direct group instruction.

Jump Up preschool combines a montessori style to emphasize independence, freedom within limits and respect .  Children will be able to choose from several developmentally appropriate learning activities and uninterrupted blocks of work time to encourage lifelong learning habits and naturally gain responsibility of their own learning.  Active learning through Class projects and group story times will be presented to strengthen exercise and challenge children's social skills and develop responsibility for own actions.

Every child displays unique characteristics from birth. Each of us has a unique talent, gift, a Power.  Jump up preschool combines physical activity and montessori and active learning styles to provide an environment and learning opportunities that will engage body mind and soul while encouraging and helping each child discover and develop their very own interests, talents and goals and discover their very own super power.

I find great value and potential for good in art, music, literature and education.  As an associate graduate of Utah Valley University I find myself seeking opportunities to continue learning and expand my knowledge that I might share with and uplift others.  I enjoy working directly with parents and families of the children I serve.  For this reason I wanted to begin my work at Mountain Land Head Start Preschool because of their emphases on communication and involvement with parents and families.  I will maintain this passion to every level of my career for I find joy in working with people, families, and children.  I thrive to see others achieve their best and to have fun while they get there.  What a beautiful sound the laughter of children is. As a mother of four I cherish the laughing, giggly, happy times with my husband and children, and know that sometimes it takes work to achieve those moments and sometimes it takes flexibility to allow for the moment.  Flexibility, adaptability, surprise, and the unexpected are the elements of children, nature, and the outdoors that bring enthusiasm, courage and hope to my life.  I love to be in the mountains and am grateful to live in an environment full of outdoor sports, physical activity, and many marvelous opportunities.  I take great strength from the Uinta Mountains and have enjoyed camping, hiking, alpine and water skiing, rock climbing, skydiving, running, swimming and yoga among them.  I am very excited to further my career with Jump Up preschool where the physical needs of preschoolers to run, jump, dance, stretch, play and be silly are not only appreciated but celebrated and encouraged.

Is from Broomfield Colorado but has lived here in Utah for the past 19 years. She is so excited to begin the preschool program for Jump Up.  While her kids were young she had the opportunity to work as a special education teacher's aid at their school.  She enjoyed working with the children, encouraging them and teaching them some of the basic concepts of learning. And she now has this wonderful opportunity to continue working and teaching children.  She has 3 beautiful children of her own. Her oldest is in college, then a sophomore and her youngest is in 6^th grade.  She looks forward to begin this preschool program to enrich your preschooler's lives and prepare them for kindergarten.
