Lynne Kaminski
has been married to Kevin for 36 years, has four grown children and three amazing grandchildren. She loves babies and children and has loved them her entire life! Mrs. Kaminski also has two dogs, who are both golden retrievers, one named Bently and the other Atlas.
Mrs. Kaminski has been teaching for 16 years and loves teaching preschool. She believes it is a very important job being the children's first teacher in a school setting and takes this position very passionately! Mrs. Kaminski loves Jesus and likes to share his love with children. She is a bright, cheery, and compassionate person! She takes time to build strong relationships with her students and their families, making everyone feel welcomed and valued! We love her dedication to fostering a positive and nurturing environment!
Her preschool classroom is very child friendly, themed around the children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. At certain stations in the room, you can see the life cycle stages of a butterfly. Her dramatic play area is currently all about housekeeping and domestic duties which include pretend cooking and serving up delicious meals! During the fall it is transformed into a Farmer’s Market filled with fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and eggs. There is a cash register, food stands, and baskets available for shopping, to name a few things. What an exciting time for growth and learning and using one’s imagination!
