Lead Educator - Older Preschool

Hi! I am Julie and I am so excited to get to know all of you. I am one of the Lead Educators in the Older Preschool classroom and also the Pedagogy and Documentation Coach at DCP. I have been teaching early childhood education for 15 years. This will be my sixth-year teaching at DCP; prior to that I taught in DPS at Joe Shoemaker School and before that I was a teacher at Paddington Station. My own children attended DCP many years ago and I am thrilled to be part of this special community again.

I graduated from the Stanley British Primary Teacher Preparation Program and completed my master’s degree from the University of Colorado in Learning, Development and Family Sciences. I received my BA in Government from Dartmouth College and a law degree (yes, I was a real estate lawyer) from Northwestern University School of Law.

I am a mom to three daughters – Taite (27) who lives in Boulder and is starting her Master’s in Art History at CU; Devon (25) who lives downtown and works in finance for DaVita; and Quinn (23) who currently lives at home and works at a law firm downtown. In my free time I love to read, go to the gym, knit, and hang out in the mountains with my husband and our 3 dogs and 2 cats.

My favorite thing about teaching is building strong and enduring relationships with both children and families, and I love that I can still be in touch with families that I taught many years ago and follow former students as they progress through elementary school, junior high and high school!
