Hi, I'm Ms. Mary, the teacher for the Pre-K and 2-year-old class! 

Being able to provide a safe, nurturing environment for your child's early learning experience, along with working side by side with the parents, is a great feeling.  It not only allows them to grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially but is an important step so that every child may have success in school and beyond. 

I have three adult children that each started in a 2-year-old class at a local co-op and when I was blessed with my grandchildren it was important to my son to have them experience the same positive learning environment.  This is our fifth year as co-op members and my second year as teacher.  

In my time away from school I like to camp, hike, and bowl. 

As Ashlie embarks on her second year as a teacher at PSCNS, she brings with her a wealth of experience and a unique perspective gained from her active involvement within the school community. A dedicated mother of three, Ashlie's nurturing instincts extend beyond her own family into the classroom, where she strives to create a welcoming and inclusive learning environment for all her students.

Away from her role as an educator, Ashlie's passion for nature shines through her hobbies, particularly in caring for her plants and garden. She views these activities as valuable sources of lessons in patience, growth, and responsibility, which she integrates into her teaching approach. In her leisure time, Ashlie finds solace in reading, drawing inspiration for her storytelling and nurturing her students' imagination.

With the new school year fast approaching, Ashlie eagerly anticipates the opportunity to continue fostering a positive and engaging learning environment for her students. Drawing from her experiences as a parent, her affinity for nature, and her commitment to holistic education, Ashlie is determined to provide a nurturing and stimulating experience for every child under her guidance.
