Preschool

Teacher: Anne Marie Smithson

Personal Background:
I was born and raised in Spokane.  I attended Whitworth University where I received a BA degree in Elementary Education.  I was an in-home childcare provider for two years.  I also did some substitute teaching in Spokane and Mead School Districts.  My husband, Christian, and I have two children, Madilyn and Carter, who both attend North Wall.  Carter is in the Toddler class, and Madilyn is in the Multi-Age Kin class.   I have always loved working with children, and I am so blessed to be a part of the North Wall Family!

Personal Teaching Philosophy:
As an educator of young children, I am honored to have the opportunity to facilitate learning and help them explore their world. Children are constantly learning, and it is my responsibility as their teacher to make sure that the learning process is wholesome, effective and enriching. I believe that each child is beautifully and wonderfully made, and because of this, I am committed to embracing their individuality and different learning styles.
