Introducing Our New Director/Teacher- Aubrey Howell!


My name is Aubrey Howell. I grew up in South Jordan, but now I live in Riverton with my husband and son. I attended Brigham Young University from 2003-2007. In April 2007, I married my best friend, Britton. We now have a son, Briggs, born in April 2012, who is the light of our lives. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, spending time with family & friends, singing, and crafting.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from BYU. Most of my student teaching and cohort work was completed in kindergarten classrooms. After my kindergarten student teaching, I applied for and accepted an internship at Jordan Ridge Elementary in South Jordan. What’s funny is…I actually went to Jordan Ridge Elementary as a student. It was different (a gooddifferent) being there as a teacher instead of a student. It was my 2nd grade teacher at Jordan Ridge who instilled the love of learning in me and who inspired me to be a teacher.

At Jordan Ridge, I taught 2nd grade for two years and then moved to a 3rd grade teaching position. I am currently teaching my 5th year in 3rd grade. I love to teach and have learned so much in these past 7 years. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are reading and music. I love reading stories to my students and making literature connections to the world and to their imaginations. I love teaching songs to help students remember things and to experience the fun that music can bring into their lives.

Being a teacher has helped me be a better parent by using the skills I have learned in my teaching career. I am excited to be a part of your children’s lives as I spend time teaching and helping them develop a love of learning.

I have decided not to teach next year, but am excited to announce that I will be handing the reins over to a fabulous teacher, Aubrey Howell.  Aubrey is a neighbor and friend, and I have worked with Aubrey in teaching situations.  I am confident that she will do a fantastic job with my preschool.  Aubrey has a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and has been teaching at Jordan Ridge Elementary School for the past 7 years.  She has always wanted to have her own preschool and is excited to teach preschool next year!  

Enrollment Packets will be available shortly, so be watching for updated information on this website.

I have enjoyed my time teaching your children and will miss interacting with you.  Thank you all for being such great parents and making my experience with teaching preschool so wonderful.  I have truly loved it and will miss it!

Thanks,

Jolynn Page
