Meet the Three's Teachers!

Ms. Dawn

My name is Dawn Oleniacz and I have been with WDS for six years.  I worked at several other centers in a variety of roles for seven years prior to this.  I have a degree in Child Development from Ferrum College, and I am the proud mom of a fourteen year old daughter (who heads to High School this year!). 

I prefer an open approach to communication—my door is always open and I am always eager to speak with you.  I am eager to get to know each of you this year and am looking forward to a year filled with fun!

Ms. Jeanne 

My name is Jeanne Pomfrey, and I have worked with children in a childcare setting since 1990.  Predominately, I have taught and nurtured toddlers to age four all these years.  I received a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from VCU in 1996. I enjoy earning continuing education hours each year, helping me to be a better teacher, mentor and team player. I believe experience is the best teacher.  I am a teacher who seeks out experiences for the children. It is experiences that we can relate to and gain perspectives from that foster the maturity and love of learning that we all desire in our children. 

Ms. Timberly

This is my second year teaching the three-year-olds here at Westhampton. One of my favorite things about working with this age group is watching their eagerness to learn. My goal this year is to provide engaging instruction that will encourage them to grow in four major ways: 1) Socially, 2) Emotionally, 3) Academically, and 4) Morally. My priority is to help teach your children to become well-rounded, balanced members of their class. Just as they need to be taught their alphabet and numbers, children also need to be taught how to appropriately interact with the people around them. As their teacher, I will do my very best to model the behavior that I expect from them. 

Ms. Stephanie

I am Stephanie Peloquin and I just graduated from Longwood with my BS in Liberal Studies and a minor in Psychology. I have experience working with children who have special needs, and because of that experience I recently decided to get my Masters in Counseling from Liberty.
