We’re delighted to spotlight Ms. Liz, one of our two wonderful Pre-K teachers here at Dothan Brook School! Now in her fourth year at DBS, Ms. Liz brings warmth, enthusiasm, and a deep sense of care to her classroom each day.
One of the things she values most about working at DBS is her Pre-K team. As she shares, “I feel supported and respected,we have so much fun together.” That strong sense of collaboration and joy shines through in the experiences she creates for her students.
Ms. Liz especially loves taking her Pre-K learners into the forest, where curiosity and exploration come alive in nature. While she doesn’t recall having a favorite subject in school, she fondly remembers her love of sports and being part of a team,something that clearly influences the supportive and connected environment she fosters today.
We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated and caring educator working with our Pre-K students and contributing to our vibrant learning community. Thank you, Ms. Liz!
We are also delighted to spotlight Mr. Nick, one of our dedicated Pre-K teachers here at Dothan Brook School! Mr. Nick has been a valued member of our learning community for the past four years, bringing curiosity, care, and enthusiasm to his work with young learners.
When asked what he loves most about DBS, Mr. Nick shares, “I love working at DBS because the teaching community is so supportive, I get to spend my day surrounded by loving children, and the outdoor classrooms and gardens are magical places to share with the students.” His appreciation for both community and nature is evident in the meaningful experiences he creates each day.
Outside of school, Mr. Nick enjoys spending time with his family and can often be found gardening, fishing, fixing things, or exploring the outdoors.
