Priest joins Collegiate as JK teacher, director
 Collegiate
is pleased to announce the appointment of Lynne Priest
as its inaugural Junior Kindergarten director and lead
instructor. Mrs. Priest brings 16 years of experience
in two nationally accredited preschools to Collegiate's
early childhood education program.
A graduate of Murray State University,
Mrs. Priest began her early childhood teaching career
at Adath Jeshurun Preschool before accepting a position
at St. Francis Preschool.
In her ten years as a lead classroom
instructor within the St. Francis program, Mrs. Priest
built a strong reputation for creative curriculum development,
establishing a nurturing environment, and preparing
her students for a successful transition to strong kindergarten
programs throughout the city.
Current and past parents of children
under Mrs. Priest's care applaud her passion, creativity,
and flexibility:
"Lynne Priest is the most energetic
and passionate teacher that both of our sons encountered
during their preschool years. Mrs. Priest is exceptional
in her ability to provide a nurturing as well as rich,
stimulating environment for her students.
Her many years of experience developing
and implementing curriculum are obvious as one reads
her lessons and/or observes her teaching. Lynne projects
an amazing amount of enthusiasm, creativity, and patience
for her four-year-old students.
Mrs. Priest communicates extensively
with parents about lessons, events and activities through
weekly newsletters, notes home and calls when appropriate.
Despite the distinct differences in
personality and learning styles between my children,
Mrs. Priest was extremely effective in evaluating and
meeting their individual needs.
Both of my children loved going to
Mrs. Priest's class everyday. She provided them with
a wonderful foundation and excitement about learning!
I can't wait for my third child to have Mrs. Priest!"
Mrs. Priest and her husband, Tim, live
in the Highlands and have two children currently attending
college.
Collegiate's
Junior Kindergarten program will open its doors in the
fall of 2008 on the school's campus in the historic
Highlands.
Applications are currently being
accepted for a limited number of spaces.
