Meet the Teacher


Hi!  My name is Jennifer and I am very excited for another year as teacher/director at the Redding Co-op Preschool. I have four wonderful children at home, who inspire my love for teaching. In my spare time, I enjoy camping and fishing. My favorite color is green!  I have lived in Redding for 17 years and have been teaching at the Coop since 2016.  I am often silly and love to laugh – and that really shows through when I work with children.
