Hello Families of A13!  My name is Danielle Skinner and I am your child's preschool teacher for the 2017-2018 school year. Our classroom has one other teacher, Mrs. Marcus as well as a 6 hour aide Mrs. Doyle and our 4 hour aide, Ms. Jost. This is my 6th year at the Pemberton Early Childhood Center. I have a Master's degree in Early Childhood education and a Bachelor's degree in Social Work. My passion for teaching and all of my past experiences have helped me to grow into the teacher I am today and I am so happy to be part of such a wonderful school district community.  I am so excited to be your child's teacher and to have the opportunity to get to know both you and your child as the year progresses.

As you child's teacher, every day is a learning experience. Children thrive in a dynamic classroom that is center around the whole child and embraces a child's need to explore the world in order to understand it. Here at Pemberton's 5 star Early Childhood Center, a child's development grows through active learning, a consistent daily routine, adult-child interactions and an engaging learning environment. Using developmentally appropriate practice and the High Scope Curriculum, we build upon the strengths of each child and promote independence as well as foster a love of learning and exploration.

In addition to my love of teaching, I also love to spend time with my family and friends. I have a five year old daughter who keeps me incredibly busy!  We love to go to our local park and play in our yard. I enjoy exercising and reading when I have free time. My weekends are spent enjoying time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to many memorable experiences and a successful school year!

Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime throughout the school day as well as after. My email is dskinner@pemb.org.  I will always be available my office from 8:35 until 9:10 and then will check my email periodically throughout the day.
