Jen Bovatsek Hi! My name is Ms. Jen and I’m so excited to begin the new school year with you! I’ve always loved working with young children and their families. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and completed my early childhood education curriculum. After I graduated, I realized that I’m the most passionate about the importance of play in child development. So, I decided to go back to school, (I’m also passionate about lifelong learning!), and earned a Masters Degree in Recreation, Parks and Tourism from San Francisco State. I continue to be grateful that I’m able to create environments where children learn through play and grow through experiential learning. When I’m not in the classroom, I have 6 year-old boy/girl twins and an 9 year-old daughter who keep me very busy. My favorite activities include being a Girl Scout leader, watching our pet bunny hop around and getting to the beach as often as I can. We’re going to have so much fun together and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things this year has in store for us!
