 Mandy DePew
My name is Mandy DePew and am one of the lead teachers in the Preschool room.
I graduated from Arizona State University in December of 2004 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently working on the requirements to receive my Minnesota teaching license. I am looking forward to returning to school to earn my Master’s Degree in Curriculum Planning and Development.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is creating activities that make learning fun and that reaches the individual needs, abilities, and interests of each child.
