The children in the Koala room range in age from 20 months to 3 years old. The Koala teachers engage children in developmentally appropriate experiences that stimulate a child’s mind, body and spirit. Through play based experiences, children gather information about the world in which they live, interpret it, and then act upon it for further exploration. Most importantly, your child will be nurtured, respected, and treated as a valued member of our community.

The Koala room staff consists of Lead Teacher Christy Wilder and Lead Teacher Carri Jackson, Co-Teacher Amanda Coleman. Christy has been in the Koala room since June, 2000, Amanda joined us in 2007 and Carri in 2008. The teachers bring with them experience and knowledge of child development, a love of literature, and an appreciation for the environment (both physical and emotional) as a key component of your child’s experience.
