Our 3 year-old Teacher - Margie Woodman. Margie joined Edgemont Preschool in the fall of 2009 as our 3 year old teacher. Margie is a qualified early childhood educator, with certification as a Child Development Supervisor. She brings over 20 years of experience with her. Margie believes in a 'life long learning' philosophy. She demonstrates this herself with ongoing course development. Margie’s goal in the classroom is to facilitate the learning process and instil a love of learning in the children. Margie ensures children experience the delight and sense of success that daily learning provides by working directly with them, as a partner in seeking answers to questions. She believes that every day spent with pre-school children is a privilege and a pleasure, and that their honesty, their acceptance of others and their ability and desire to learn new things is what inspires her to teach.

Shannon has a Bachelor of Education Degree (B.Ed.) and a Master of Education Degree in Educational Leadership (M.Ed.). She also has certification as a Child Development Supervisor. The majority of her experience has been working with young children in the area of Early Literacy. Shannon believes the preschool years are critical in establishing a positive and strong foundation for future learning and wishes to foster a love of learning within each child. She greatly enjoys the natural curiosity and creativity that young children bring to the classroom. Shannon is also committed to teacher growth and enjoys attending various professional development sessions. She is looking forward to an exciting year at Edgemont Preschool.
