Ms. Emma
Little Planet Preschool Director:
Hi, I am Ms. Emma and I am so thrilled to be the Director at Little Planet Preschool. I received my formal education at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island earning a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Special Education. I have enjoyed working with children from infant through first grade for many years. I am excited to bring my education, years of experience, and creativity to Little Planet Preschool to create an atmosphere that fosters a love of learning and provides a solid foundation on which to build long past pre-school. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy watching the sunset, going to the beach, traveling, running, scrapbooking, cooking, and watching the Boston sports teams! I am looking forward to partnering with you and your child as we all learn and grow together!

Ms. Sarah
Lead Teacher
Hi Everyone! My name is Sarah, I have been in Early Childhood Education for over 15 years. I received my teaching certification from Vanguard University of Southern California and my CDA from North Shore Community College. What I enjoy most about teaching is seeing how much the children can learn and grasp in such a short period of time. I love to get messy with art, try out new science experiments and incorporate fun into letter and number recognition. In my free time I enjoy kayaking, fishing, camping and traveling.

Hi Everyone! My name is Jackie, I have been an Early Childhood Educator for over 23 years. I have experience woking with children ages infants through 5 year old.

Ms. Sadie
Teacher
Hi, I’m Miss Mercedes also known as Miss Sadie! I’ve been working with children for 13 years. Although Preschool is my favorite age group, I have lots of experience working with newborns up to 16 years olds. It’s been a few years since I’ve been in a traditional classroom setting but; I’ve worked with the company Care@Work providing families with backup childcare as well as running Pop Up Daycares. I received my Early Education Certificate at Bunker Hill Community College and plan to further my education. I was a gymnast up until I graduated from high school and believe movement is an essential key to learning, which is why I’ve also joined the team at Sweet Peas as a Gymnastics Instructor. When I am not working you can often find me; crocheting or doing anything art related, cooking or trying new foods, watching movies, doing action sports, and adventuring anywhere and everywhere!
