Greetings families! My name is Miss Joan, and I am delighted to be an instructor for the Appletots Learning Center. I consider it both a joy and an honor to share fun and meaningful experiences with your child. I have taught a wide variety of age groups, but my heart is drawn to the preschool setting because of the wonder and growth that occurs during this special time. I have four children of my own, and do I understand the ups and downs of daily life. Taking that first step and getting kids ready for a class can be an event in itself! However, having that time away from home, seeing new faces and surroundings, and perhaps even talking to other parents in the same situation can be worthwhile for the entire family. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, biking around town, and being crafty with my kids! Honest confession: I have way too many coloring books. It is my guilty pleasure. I have loved calling Appleton my home for the last 24 years. I look forward to meeting you and your child!
