Our Teachers

The Falmouth Corner Preschool is staffed with two extradordinary teachers who are the epitome of patience and grace. On a typical day, both teachers and one parent will be in the classroom, lending to an excellent student/adult ratio.

Ms. Jill, Co-Teacher

Ms. Jill comes to us from Hingham, Massachusetts, where she served as the beloved pre-k/kindergarten teacher for 18 years in an “arts” integrated preschool that emphasized early immersion in art, music, drama, movement and scientific exploration. In addition to Ms. Jill’s teaching experience, she holds a master’s degree in early childhood education from Wheelock College and a Massachusetts teaching license preschool-3rd grade. She has taught various professional development workshops about arts integration in literacy, math and science for early childhood educators. She has published articles about implementing a multiple intelligence approach in the classroom, as well as the benefits of  teaching and learning in a multiage environment.

Ms. Jill's passion is reading to children and creating deep connections to literature through art, music and play! Ms. Jill resides in their happy place on Sebago Lake with her mom, son, and black lab and she enjoys all outdoor activities during every season! 

A note from her: “I believe that a child’s early introduction to education is about creating a caring community of learners, where the environment honors all family traditions, validates every student’s developmental journey and interests, and fosters a lifelong love of learning and respect for the world around them!"

Ms. Shana, Co-Teacher

Ms. Shana has a wealth of teaching experience in addition to previously having a child in our preschool. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Mathematics from the University of Maine. Ms. Shana has dedicated herself to shaping young minds for over six years. Her journey includes teaching kindergarten and coaching soccer and cheering teams, where she fosters academic growth and instills values of teamwork and sportsmanship.

Outside of her professional endeavors, Ms. Shana cherishes spending time with her family, especially her daughter and husband, and enjoys diving into a good book whenever possible. Her dedication to both her personal and professional life reflects her commitment to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for her students.

Ms. Shana shares, "I am thrilled to return to the classroom and eager for the opportunity to inspire and educate your children."
