Hello! My name is Alex Bennett, and I am the assistant in the afternoon Pre-K class Monday-Thursday. This will be my fourth-year teaching Preschool, but my first year at Eagle’s Wings. I have always wanted to work in education and when I attended Grossmont College and took child development classes, my interest in the field of education grew even stronger. I love working in the classroom and thoroughly enjoy experiencing something new and fun every day. Inspiring a love of learning and sharing the good news of Jesus is my passion! I live in Boise with my two children, Nathan (11) and Faith (8). We are originally from San Diego but have lived in Idaho since 2013. My family enjoys the outdoors, riding bikes, swimming, hiking, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy watching movies, reading, and playing the piano. I truly love working with children and families and can’t wait to get to know everyone! I am excited to be on this journey and look forward to having a wonderful year!

My name is Jeny Marshall and I teach four-year-olds in the Giraffe class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and the afternoon Bears Pre-K class. I have taught preschool in the Eagle area for five years. I love teaching preschool because our days are filled with songs, games, exploration, fun, and learning about Jesus. I live in Meridian with my husband, John, and our two children, Clark (14) and Amaya (11). I have lived in Idaho for more than thirty years. I was raised in Boise with my parents and an older sister. My father is a retired Christian minister and hospital chaplain, and my mother is a retired preschool teacher. My second home while growing up was my mom’s classroom and I am thrilled to be carrying on the tradition of early childhood education in our family. I graduated from Boise State in 2003 with a BA in Communications. I look forward to making memories with your child!

I am Annabelle Lazzarini and excited about working with your children.  I developed a passion for working in child education after spending years volunteering in the classrooms of my two daughters.  In 2011, I was hired as a teacher assistant in a kindergarten class.  God then opened a door for me to join the staff of a Christian preschool at a church my family was attending.  In 2017, my husband Mark, our two daughters, and I relocated to Idaho.  I am so happy that I will be at Eagle’s Wings Preschool for my tenth year of teaching, and I get the opportunity to introduce your children to the love and hope that is in Jesus Christ.

Hi, my name is Meg Miller. I am one of the teachers at Eagle’s Wings Preschool. I have worked at the preschool for eleven years and have enjoyed being a part of our littlest ones’ lives. Teaching has always been a large part of my life. I received my BA in Elementary Education at Washington State University in 1995. During and after college I worked for a daycare before moving to Idaho where I began work in the Twin Falls School District in the Gifted and Talented Program and later as a Sixth-Grade teacher. After both of my children were born, my husband and I moved to Eagle for the positive qualities we admired in the area. My family and I have now lived in Eagle for nearly 18 years and continue to enjoy the city. We have been very involved in the school system and community and feel very fortunate to call Eagle our home.
