During their time in the Joyful Jaguars classroom, each child is given the opportunity to learn in a preschool rich environment. This experience consists of a morning circle time with calendar and our weekly theme, learning area activities centered around art, math, and science skills with a more pronounced focus on Zoophonics. Children will now be continuing to grow their handwriting skills through Handwriting Without Tears, supporting each child in aiming for Kindergarten Readiness. Our Joyful Jaguars classroom is taking one nap a day, playing outdoors twice a day, and enjoying our nutritional menu.

Lead Teacher: Ms. Catie

My name is Ms. Catie. I have been married to my husband, Jake, for 5 years. We have a baby named Amelia and a cat named Pizza. We love to go camping, especially with family and friends. I also love to dress up in fun costumes!

I graduated from Kuyper College in 2011 with a Bachelor’s degree in Bible and Theology and Communication, with an emphasis on Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. After graduating, I decided I wanted to pursue education, so I obtained my teaching certificate through Grand Valley State University.

Watching children learn and grow is a huge passion of mine. I am excited to get to know each child in our classroom!
