Mrs. Emily Nixon, Teacher
Hi! My name is Mrs. Nixon, and I will be your teacher in the 3-year-old class. I am so pleased to be in my ninth year at Crosspoint Preschool. Our youngest son attended the Pre-K class and loved it! Prior to being on staff with the Preschool, I spent almost eight years at home raising our three children. Before that, I enjoyed a career in psychology and social services working with populations ranging from elementary-aged children all the way through senior citizens in a nursing home.

Our 3-year-old class encourages each child to explore the world around them in a safe and loving way through a wide variety of activities.
Our classroom has a library; dramatic play area; blocks, Legos, and puzzles; a science area; a sensory table; several places for art activities; and much more. Monthly and weekly themes guide our work together. We complete evaluations with each child in October, January, and May to assess their strengths and areas for growth. Gross and fine motor skills are strengthened each day through our activities and projects. Repetition, consistency, and structure make our room a place for each child to grow socially and emotionally.
