Mrs. Anna
Director
I was led to this wonderful preschool 16 years ago by a mommy friend. At that time, I was a young mother of a kindergartner and a toddler. It was the perfect job opportunity for me to be a full-time mom and make a little income. I had no idea I would enjoy my job so much and this would be my lifelong career. Over the years I have had many job titles here at HPGP, but my favorite title is Preschool Teacher. I believe God has given us all a special gift. My special gift is teaching young children and I feel very blessed that God chose this path for me.
Ms. Eileen
I have been a toddler teacher here at HPGP for 30 years. I love to watch them go through each phase of life and know I was a part of helping them learn and grow! My goal is to spread joy and laughter, to take in each moment knowing it is a gift from God.
Ms. Sydney
I love working with children because I get to watch them grow into their own person. I have been with the HPGP family for 7 years. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends on the weekend and going to Disney.
