SAMANTHA SHEPHERD

Head Teacher

Hi my name is Samantha. Most of my kids call me Miss Sam. I love working with kids. They have such interesting ways of looking at the world, and it is so much fun to start introducing them to different ways to express these ideas and interests. My favorite part about working with kids is watching how their personality comes out as they explore their relationships with others and activities they engage in. I love to instill a lifelong desire for learning and that education is far from being poor, but can be a tool to reach for one’s dreams. Some of my favorite things is chocolate, the color pink, pasta, and spending time with friends and family.

Education

I graduated with Bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders from Brigham Young University in April of 2020. During the course of my degree I had opportunities to take classes about child development, child language development, speech and hearing sciences.  I taught preschool as the head teacher previously at Freedom Preparatory Academy in Vineyard for about a year before coming to Treasure Tree.
