Kathye Flanagan
Music
Ms. Kathye has been teaching music to young children for years. In addition to her own business, Happy Notes, Kathye teaches music at South Church Preschool as an enrichment program. Kathye specifically targets each age group with different songs and tailors her classes to the curriculum we are teaching at that time. We are so happy to be able to collaborate with Kathye during our holiday concerts and many other special events.
Mrs. Hartnett
Gym
Mrs. Hartnett is excited to be our Gym teacher for the upcoming school year. She has been a part of the South Church preschool community as a classroom program assistant, and is excited to continue to support the children in the classroom one day a week through the three day program. As a proud mom of four, her home is a very busy and active place. Her love for running, exercising, and moving her body makes her so excited to take on this role at the school. Mrs. Hartnett has a masters degree from UConn in physical therapy. She is so excited to lead fun activities that will help the children grow and develop coordination and gross motor skills. She cannot wait to share her love of movement with the children and watch them thrive and grow!
Mrs. Nardi
Spanish
We are fortunate to have a teacher that is fluent in Spanish and loves teaching to young children. Mrs. Nardi teaches basic Spanish to the 5 day students. Her exuberant energy makes learning a new language fun and memorable. She includes her knowledge of early childhood education into her Spanish lessons with catchy songs, games and projects. We are so happy that we are able to expose our children to a foreign language at such a young age with so much success.
