What is a Co-op?
A Co-Op, or Cooperative, is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically controlled enterprise.
With that being said, we aim to provide this community with the educational needs leading up to K-12 schooling. We strive to come together as a community of parents to decide what our classroom needs.
Meet Our Teachers!
I am a retired Nurse who worked joyfully for 45 years. I was a foster mom to girls with special needs, and I am still in contact with them. I have also worked as a preschool teacher on and off while I was a nurse to help prevent burnout. Although I am retired, my love for children and teaching has motivated me to work for the Co-Op. My hobbies include traveling, especially cruises, and enjoying the company of friends and family. I am the president of the Heartbridge Life Center and am a Hospice volunteer as well as involved in the formation of the Teen Center here in Newport! I look forward to meeting you.

My kids have both been in Co-Op for the last 3 years, and I am excited to now be a teacher of this amazing preschool for years to come! In my free time, I crochet, read novels, play D&D with my husband, do jigsaw puzzles, and go fishing! I am also working on my teaching degree online at North Idaho College. Some electives I have taken over the last few years of college include French, ASL, and Music. My favorite season is winter! I look forward to meeting you.
