•      Hi, my name is Denise O'Longaigh and I am currently entering my 12th
  year as Holy Family's preschool teacher. I grew up in Dublin, Ireland where I began my career working with young children. I am Montessori trained and have over 20 years of experience working in early development. I have been a teacher in countless countries including Ireland, Australia, England and the United States. I am the mother of four children and two dogs. Outside of school I enjoy yoga, cooking, reading, traveling, and attending my children's high school sports activities.

We offer a weekly Spanish class taught by our Spanish teacher that includes stories, vocabulary and learning how to count. Every week our eight grade class comes over to visit and share stories and books with each student. We also participate in P.E. class once a week. Our first month has set the pace for the remaining school year. Our theme this year is Super Heroes. We are looking at what virtues Super Heroes possess and instilling these values throughout the year. For the month of April we will be looking at our planet earth and talking about the continents and where we live.We will explore the beautiful season of Spring and how it impacts our environment in all our learning centers. O.M.S.I. will join to talk about bugs.
