Teacher Amy
Amy Jacobson is our teacher for both preschool classes. Amy's background includes education in Early Childhood Education, Child & Family Studies, and Sociology. She has taught preschool children for more than eleven years, including five years at the nationally accredited Helen Gordon Child Development Center at Portland State University. Amy has also worked as a nanny and with young children in other capacities. Amy has taught at MTCP for the past three years, and was a co-op parent as well when her daughter attended the school. She has come to love the co-op model, and enjoys working more closely with families than in a "traditional" preschool. She has a particular interest in children's social and emotional development, and strives to help children develop meaningful, loving relationships with their classmates. Amy's family includes her husband of fourteen years, her 7 year old daughter, a silly dog, and a grumpy, old cat. The Jacobson's enjoy working and playing together, and have loved living in Portland for the past thirteen years. Amy is a novice digital photographer and avid scrapbooker. She takes photos every day in the classroom to document children's work and relationships. "I hope that you will come to value the connectedness that comes from working in your child's classroom. It's such a great way to get to know your child's peers, and to be hands-on with your child's early education." -Amy Jacobson
