MRS. BLAIS


 
Mrs. Blais is the head teacher at Hebron Center Nursery School.  She teaches both the 3 year olds and the 4 year olds.  She also created the enrichment program that was such a hit this past summer and will be starting up again in October.

Mrs. Blais is all about being a teacher.  She loves learning and exploring the world around her and sharing  this knowledge.  Mrs. Blais has read lots of books, traveled the world and gone for her bachelors degree in an effort to share this with all of us.  The other teachers love working with her and they feel like they learn something from her every day. 

Her energy and enthusiasm for her job is fantastic.  She balances this with being a Super Mom to her three sons, Jeff, Stephen and Kevin.  With two sons in college and one in high school her life is busy but she remembers the importance of  having quality family time.  Mrs. Blais always makes sure to keep good healthy habits and physical exercise a part of her daily life and this has followed her to school with our healthy snack lists and lots of physical play time.  Hebron Center Nursery School is very lucky to have such a gifted head teacher.  Whether we are exploring bees, the rain forest, making apple pies, or learning about how to keep our planet healthy,  Mrs. Blais will never cease to amaze us all with all the information she shares. 

Mrs. Blais makes learning so much FUN!!!!!!
MRS. YORIO



Mrs. Yorio is currently the assistant teacher in the Tuesday and Thursday 3 year old program and has been with Hebron Center Nursery School for as long as anyone can remember (over 20 years).  In fact, she taught Mrs. Blais' sons when they were at HCNS! 

Mrs. Yorio is married with two children (all grown!) and their names are Becky and Nick.  She is the proud grandmother of little Hunter with another grandchild on the way in December. 

Mrs. Yorio has an endless supply of energy and loves her little friends at school.  She likes making spaghetti from scratch, getting her hands messy and being silly.  Mrs. Yorio has lots of great ideas for projects too!  She likes to move around, sing and dance and is the best at teaching us how to make letter shapes using our bodies.  Circle time is Mrs. Yorio's favorite part of the day because she loves to "eye-spy" the color and shape of the month and to help her students read the letter story for the week.  She is always smiling, always helpful and always the most fun person to be around. 

We love Mrs. Yorio and you will too!!

MRS. BURTIS
