Hello there! My name is Ms. Smith, and I am so excited you are here. As a graduate from the University of Connecticut's Early Childhood Education Program, teaching little humans has always been a passion of mine. I teach a wide range of child development courses at Bacon Academy, one of which being this integrated fieldwork experience for students at Bacon Academy to become preschool teachers!

Hello! My name is Miss Maily. I am a senior at Bacon Academy and I am 17 years old, and this is my second year in the preschool program. I am the curriculum and behavior specialist, and specialize in working with the teachers and the kids. I help with lesson planning, organizing the headteacher weeks, and working on behavioral plans. My job as a manager is to make sure the teachers get the help they need. I spent last year practicing and learning the ways to plan a head teacher week, organize thoughts and ideas and turn it into something that could be taught to the preschoolers in an engaging and fun way. If you have any questions regarding what to say to a child, how to react to certain behaviors, or any lesson planning questions please reach out to my email @mbrav26270@colchesterct.org . I have a passion for teaching and am so excited for the possibilities of next year, and cannot wait to get the next year started with these young minds. After many experiences in working with little kids I really do believe that teaching young minds is the best way to better our future. 

Hello everyone! My name is Miss Alexa, I am a senior at Bacon Academy, and I am 17 years old. I took the preschool class last year, in addition to early childhood in a previous school year, and I have loved it so much that I am back as a manager this year! My role this year is the Family Liasion. I do all of the registration work, take photos of the preschoolers throughout the year, send out any information and updates to parents and families, and work on parent-teacher conferences! This past year, I have absolutely loved getting to meet the preschoolers, watch their personalities emerge, and talk to their families as well! I am incredibly excited to be back as a manager for the 2026-2027 school year and cannot wait to meet everyone! If you have any questions, please reach out at @asmit27153@colchesterct.org
