Arlene’s journey with ACP is a full circle, as she went to preschool here as a 4 year old, taught the 3’s class for several years and is now excited to join as the preschool Director. She is a Newport High School and UW graduate and continues to live in the area. Arlene has been married to her husband, Tracy, for 33 years and is the mother of 3 adult children. Their cat Callie and dog Luke round out the family.

Arlene joins us after teaching 22 years in the preschool world. “My greatest joy while teaching was watching children explore with unbridled curiosity. Their passion for learning and their eyes when they first fully understood a concept was priceless.” Arlene also enjoys working with parents as they navigate the preschool years with their children. “I am so looking forward to rejoining the ACP family. Such wonderful memories, and so many more to come!”
