Dearest Parents;
Over a decade ago I saw a need within my community, Cheyenne was in desperate need for a part time preschool program and I answered that call. While we still don’t have as many as we need the educational landscape is changing and options are on their way!
I entered in this profession with a plan. I’ve always known I would eventually walk away from teaching in a classroom and begin focusing my work on teaching the next generation of teachers. It was also part of the plan and incredibly important to me that I dedicated time for my advocacy efforts on behalf of the young child. Creating a more flexible schedule to finish my doctoral dissertation become a part of the plan as well.
It is now time for me to move forward. I am officially announcing my retirement and the closing of Little Peaches Preschool.
You might be wondering why close at all?, what about Mrs. Layne?
Mrs. Layne agreed to continue teaching as long as it was at my side.
Together we have decided its time to close the school and offer our experience and knowledge to the next generation of teachers. We are dedicated to the education of young children and the support of their families. So while Little Peaches will no longer exist, we are once again moving forward to provide a new option for families of young children within the community. Little Peaches will close its doors as a part time preschool program on May 25th,2023. We will reopen in the same location as a new business focused on the young child in June 2023. We are not ready at this time to share specific details, as this letter has probably already been a shock to many of you.
I thank each an everyone of you for choosing Little Peaches and your continued support as we move forward in a new direction! It has been our pleasure to be your childs first teacher!

Hello there!
This is our yearly letter to start the conversation about going to Kindergarten and what that might look like for you in the coming months. Your child does have other options than the school district and we want to make sure you know what options may exist. This is only what we know of and by no means an endorsement for any of these choices. We don’t know all the details but we are committed to helping you make the best choice for your child. If you have questions we will do our best to answer them or find them for you.
