Jenn PhillipsDirector and lead Teacher
Hi, I am Mrs. Jenn. I started my career volunteering at my old elementary school and found my passion for teaching. I started as a classroom assistant and throughout time I went back to school to learn everything I could about child development and early childhood education. I continued working in a variety of childcare centers, preschools, and school-age centers. I have been a classroom teacher since 2004 and even moved up to director of a handful of programs throughout the state of Maryland. I am a wife to my wonderful husband and a mother of 3 beautiful children ages 22, 10, and 3 years of age. I love all the animals, but we currently have 1 big chocolate lab and the sweetest little cat. I am excited to start my future at LTRC Co-op Tots. I want to thank everyone for allowing us to be a part of your child’s educational journey.
