Mrs. Harken's All-Day Kindergarten

    
Mrs. Whitney Harken

I love teaching Kindergarten! I have a love of learning. I want to pass that love and passion on to the future leaders of our communities and nation. I believe that positive role models who can reach out to children have a duty to do so. I am always trying to find ways to better myself as a person and a teacher. I believe that every child deserves to be nurtured, groomed, and prepared socially, emotionally, and academically. I have the skills, drive, and the compassion to make these goals possible. I am excited to share this journey with your family.

Welcome to All Day Kindergarten! My name is Whitney Harken and I am excited to get to work with your family this year.  

Kindergarten is essential in the academic, social, and emotional growth for children. Together, we will explore new ideas, listen to new stories, and sing new songs, all in an attempt to peak their interest and to develop a love of learning that will set the tone for your child’s academic experience.
