Haley Duffy

 Hello, families!

I am thrilled to introduce myself as Miss Haley, your child's Pre-K teacher at MiVillage! It brings me immense joy to embark on another year of fun and creative learning experiences in the classroom.

I pursued my education at the University of New Hampshire, where I honed my skills in Early Childhood Education. Following my college journey, I discovered MiVillage, where I had the privilege of working in various aspects of the program, including preschool/Pre-K, Before/After School, and summer camp. While I cherish the time spent with all age groups, I found my true passion in Pre-K. There's something truly magical about helping children prepare for kindergarten, witnessing those unforgettable moments when they write their name for the first time, and guiding them on exciting classroom adventures. I'm excited to ignite your children's curiosity about letters, numbers, animals, weather, science, and a world of other fascinating subjects! In Pre-K, we'll also dive into hands-on activities that may get a little messy but are always a lot of fun.

Now, a little glimpse into my world: Summer holds a special place in my heart, although the beauty of fall comes in at a close second. One of my absolute favorite pastimes is spending time at the beach, and immersing myself in the great outdoors is another passion of mine. I am endlessly fascinated by animals, and I'm always eager to share and learn new facts about them. While I have two adorable dogs, the majestic orca ranks as my favorite animal. When I'm not at school, you can often find me whipping up delicious meals at home while enjoying some music in the background. If there's one dish that serves as the ultimate comfort food for me, it's chicken parm. Additionally, I have a deep love for reading books, especially when friends bring in books to share during our circle time.

My teaching style is very much hands-on. I thrive on active engagement with the children, learning right alongside them rather than simply instructing. This interactive approach allows us to explore the world of knowledge together, fostering a dynamic and enriching learning experience for your child.
