Our Teachers
Our teacher, Wendy Berlind, holds a master’s degree in elementary education from Harvard University.
When Mrs. Berlind is not teaching, she participates in a number of education-related community activities. One of Mrs. Berlind’s early childhood talents can be witnessed in her fondness for children’s literature and puppet play.
She makes story and song time engrossing for children and adults. Wendy began her affiliation with the Co-op as a participating parent in 1974 and has been head teacher since 1983.
The Middletown Coop is pleased to welcome Mary Godbout as our new Assistant Teacher. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, Mary worked in Customer Service and Sales here in Connecticut. However, for the last several years, Mary has concentrated her time and talent on raising her daughter. Mary has been very involved in her daughter's school, volunteering almost daily in her preschool class. Later on, her skills and rapport with children were put to use as a regular substitute in grades pre-K through 8.
Mary's goals in a preschool environment are to foster the development of each child through his journey, promoting the essential skills each will need to move forward.
