Meet our Two's Teachers!

Ms. Finis

Hello!  I am both a mother and grandmother of three children, so I come to you with a great deal of experienceJ  I have been in childcare for nine years, and during this time, I have mostly been with my very favorite age group—two’s!  At this age their love is unconditional, they are enthusiastic, and their love of learning is amazing.  Before coming to WDS, I was a step in for the director and assisted in the day to day functions at the school.

I come into contact with so very many different personalities every day.  The shy one that needs that extra bit of attention, the motherly one that always wants to help, and the “why” child who wants to know about everything! I love watching their minds open up as they emerge into the individuals they will become.

Ms. Heather

Hello! My name is Heather Larsen and I am so excited to be back at Westhampton! I took this past year off to stay home with my daughter. Prior to that I taught in the three’s at WDS  for two years. I’ve enjoyed being a sub here since I stopped full time, but I’m ready to be back!

 I graduated from Bob Jones University in South Carolina with a bachelor’s in Health, Fitness, and Recreation.  After graduating I worked for The Little Gym as their Program Director and then left to teach at a preschool in Mechanicsville before coming to Westhampton. I absolutely love children and have a passion for teaching! I look forward to getting to know you all this year. 

Ms. Simone

Welcome!  I am so honored to have the privilege of teaching your child and getting to know your family this year.  I have been teaching for fourteen years, eight years specifically spent at the preschool level.  I joined the WDS family in August 2010 and have been teaching in the two’s since then.  I graduated from the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica.  Here I read for my Bachelor of Arts Degree, an English Major.

I love to teach and my passion is reading.  Love, patience, understanding, patience, kindness, and my love for books are qualities that I plan to use and share with my class daily.
