MEET OUR INSTRUCTORS

	Miss Sally
Hi, I'm Miss Sally! I have enjoyed working for the City of La Verne Preschool program for the past 22 years. Currently, I am the Preschool Coordinator of our program. Working with young children has always been my passion. I believe learning can and should be fun. My husband John and I have two daughters, Robyn and Laura. Both girls attended City of La Verne Preschool when they were young, as well as our grandson, Cruz. John and I both grew up in the La Verne/San Dimas area. Between 1989 and 2002 I ran a Licensed Home Daycare. Between raising our girls and the daycare, I attended Child Development classes at Mt. San Antonio College. In my spare time I enjoy traveling and a member of a running club. I’ve completed numerous Half Marathons, as well as completing the Walt Disney World Marathon in 2015 and the L.A. Marathon the last 6 years.

	Miss Cheryl
Hi, I’m Miss Cheryl! I’ve worked for the City of La Verne preschool for 34 years. I’m happy to say that I still enjoy working with the children and I’ve also had some of the children of my past students in my class. My husband and I both grew up in Glendora and after marrying in 1975, we moved to La Verne. We have a daughter and son who are both married and we have two grandchildren. My son went to La Verne preschool at the same time I started working as a substitute for the program. Both of our children went to school in the Bonita Unified School District and are college graduates. When my children were young I was involved in PTA and the San Dimas/La Verne Soccer Program. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family.
