Meet Teacher Elizabeth

When you walk into Cathedral Park Preschool, you step into a community of learners where play, curiosity, and connection guide each day. In Elizabeth’s classroom, learning grows from children’s interests, family culture, and shared experiences — whether you’re mixing up slime, dressing up as astronauts, or painting stained glass windows together.

As both a former Cathedral Park Preschool parent and now the lead teacher, Elizabeth brings a deep understanding of the cooperative preschool experience. You’ll feel her belief in community right away. She encourages children to share ideas, build friendships, and learn through hands-on play — the kind of learning that stays with families long after preschool ends.

Elizabeth’s journey began more than fifteen years ago when her sons, Henry and Charlie, were students at CPP. What started as time spent as a parent helper soon revealed a talent for working with young children and a passion for the cooperative model. That discovery led her back to college to earn a degree in early childhood education and ultimately back to Cathedral Park Preschool as a teacher.

In Elizabeth’s classroom, you might find yourself talking about oobleck, discovering bugs on walking field trips, or watching friendships form as children build castles together. She considers it both a pleasure and a privilege to guide children and families through these early years, and she looks forward to welcoming you into the Cathedral Park Preschool community.
