Two year olds are full of energy, enthusiasm, exploration, and have a growing desire for independence. With so many new skills being learned at the age of 2, your child can't wait to use them all! The two year old is learning to become more social and aware of their surrounding huge world. The excitement achieved from turning a page in a book to building a tower helps encourages their creativity.

My name is Dionne Gould. This will be my first year teaching here at SMPK. I have two children who have attended SMPK. The atmosphere of love and creativity has helped us provide a well formed foundation for them. I am glad that you have chosen us to help provide a caring foundation for your student.

I have been married to my husband Dennis for 22 years and we have four children that help keep us busy. We have twins that are 13 years of age Morgan and Dennis(III), Matthew 8, and Lauren 5. I currently have an Associates Degree in Education and am working towards my Bachelor's in Special Education. I have always enjoyed working with children to achieve their goals in learning.

This year I will help your two year old explore their world through fun activities, monthly colorful discoveries, crafts, games and my favorite... story time! I am anticipating a lot of growth as well as excitement with each and every student this school year.

If at any time you have a question for me, feel free to ask or if you remember one in the middle of play time at home just send me an email.

Thank you and here's to a wonderful year with our "Exploring Two's!"

Miss Dionne
