About Mrs. Marie Forst

I have been teaching young children for over 20 years. After a brief stint teaching Pre-K here in Pennsylvania, my husband and I packed up our pets and headed out west in 1999. We ended up in Southern California where I taught kindergarten in Fontana, CA for 7 years.  The sunsets were amazing, the beach was only an hour away, and we had wonderful friends.

Then we realized our clocks were ticking.

Our first son was born in 2004 and we were excited to be invited back to PA by WT a year later. Both of our families were jubilant that we were ready to return to the land of green hills.

I am in my element in a Pre-K classroom. When asked why I teach such young children, I always respond in the same way. I have the only job where my clients tell me that they love me every day, and if anyone is upset, all you have to do is sing and everything gets better.

    1. Thanks, Kim! I hope others find how much easier this is than standard newsletters, as well. I feel like I can share much more with families with this format. So many of our families have extended family members in other parts of the world. This makes sharing with all of them possible.

  2. Dearest Marie: I am so proud of you and the teacher you have become. You have started with the kids at the right age. You are making thier experience great right at the beginning and hopefully, thier future teachers keep allowing them to have fun while learning.
