My name is Shannon, I am the teacher and owner of Wonder Garden Neighborhood Preschool. I have been teaching children for almost 20 years.  I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Lane Community College. After a few years of teaching in the community, I taught for 13 years at LCC's lab preschool, Lane Child & Family Center, where I supported college learners, preschoolers, and their families. Before starting Wonder Garden Neighborhood Preschool, I spent 3 years helping to start a local nature preschool.

I am passionate about sharing nature with children, sharing their joy as they learn something new, and collaborating with families.  Families know their children best and when teachers and families work together, children blossom!  I am dedicated to providing a safe and engaging environment where children will learn and thrive.

When not teaching, I enjoy spending time outside, camping, riding bikes, and cooking.  One of my favorite things is working in the garden, you may see me when you drive by!
