Hola! My name is Jamie Vences. I have been working in a preschool classroom for 25 years, this is my 5th year working at the Castle with the full time students. With my background of Hispanic Heritage I have also been a Spanish teacher for Preschool - 8th grade.
My name is Mary Pat Podlasek, I started working at The Castle in the year 2000. The Caste Preschool is truly a magical place where children develop holistically. I’ve loved art ever since my mother took me downtown to see the Picasso statue when I was 11. I’ve taken art classes all throughout my school career and continue to explore topics like glass painting, drawing, oil painting, craft painting, and so much more.
Hi my name is Cynthia Wells. I have been working in Early Childhood Education for 40 years. I’ve always been the one that understands and connects with all children. My philosophy is to “meet them where they are, not where you are or want them to be”. I’ve always loved art and see the world through an artistic lens. Art is another form of expression that should be heard.
We are honored to partner with the Beverly Art Center to periodically receive some guest artists to join our classes.
