My name is Chelsea LaBerge. This will be my tenth year teaching children of this age and my eighth fall here at Allen Brook School. I graduated from UVM’s Early Childhood Education (Birth-Grade 3) program and have a self-designed concentration in Animal Science, Statistics and Anthropology. 

I am passionate about finding hands-on and child centered ways to engage children in their learning, as well as outdoor learning opportunities for young children. I strive to foster a love of learning in every student. I value classroom environments where children are secure to take risks, feel challenged and cared about, and have a sense of autonomy about the happenings in the classroom community. 

Entering kindergarten is such a special time for children and their families. I feel incredibly grateful to work with children and families in this capacity and I am honored to be a part of this experience with you all! I look forward to a wonderful and memorable year in kindergarten!
