Tami Ault: Principal Preschool Teacher
Ms. Tami’s greatest love is teaching. She has worked as a Kindergarten aide in Alpine School District and has spent the last 20 plus years teaching preschool, including experience teaching at Peppermint House Preschool under the direction of Andrea Johnson. She feels that one of the most powerful tools in teaching children is through rhythm, music and story. Her greatest satisfaction comes when a child gains the confidence to perform on stage and shine! She has been married for 35 years and is the proud mother of 6 children and 10 grandchildren.

CHANTALL MCRAE
“What A Great Job JSB Preschool Did Getting Reese Ready For Kindergarten. I Help Out In Her Classroom Once A Week And I Help The Children Swap Out Their In-Class Reading Books. Most Of The Kids In Her Class Pull From The ‘AA’ Or ‘A’ Basket And Reese Is On Basket ‘C’ Which Means She Is On A 1st Grade Reading Level Right Now. Your Efforts Made Her Transition Into Every Day School Seamless As She Didn’t Have To Stress About Learning How To Write Her Name Or What Sound Every Letter Makes. There’s A Special Place In Heaven For Preschool Teachers And I Just Wanted To Say THANK YOU!!! We Love Mrs. Ault”
