MY NAME IS MELISSA LEHTO AND I AM EXCITED TO BE TEACHING YOUR CHILD DURING THE 2018-19 SCHOOL YEAR. THIS YEAR IS MY 8TH YEAR TEACHING PRESCHOOL IN THE LITTLE EGG HARBOR SCHOOL DISTRICT, ALTHOUGH THIS IS MY 18TH YEAR WORKING IN THE FIELD OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.

I HOLD DUAL BACHELOR’S DEGREES IN CHILD AND FAMILY SCIENCE FROM THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY AND ENGLISH FROM THOMAS EDISON UNIVERSITY. I ALSO EARNED EDUCATION CERTIFICATION FROM BLOOMFIELD UNIVERSITY.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE: I AM MARRIED AND THE MOTHER TO THREE VERY ACTIVE TEENS. I ENJOY READING, RELAXING ON THE BEACH AND WATCHING COLLEGE FOOTBALL. GO BUCKS!

I LOVE WORKING WITH PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY ARE FULL OF CURIOSITY AND WONDER MAKING EACH DAY DIFFERENT AND ENJOYABLE!
