Emily Perkes
Hello! I'm so excited to meet our new classes!
In 2011, I graduated from BYU-Idaho in Elementary Education.
For the past decade, I have taught first grade for Madison School District on and off between having each of my four children.
After moving into a new house in February 2020, we built a preschool room so I can enjoy my passion for teaching while staying closer to home.
I hope you love it as much as I do!

My Philosophy
Preschoolers learn best when they are playing, so my goal is to keep seat work and worksheets to a minimum.
The students will learn about letters by singing and playing games, discover science by experimenting, learn to problem solve by working with their peers, build fine motor skills by painting, and ultimately determine on their own how much FUN learning can be!
