Jenni Stoll
Program Director & Pre-Kindergarten Teacher
​I have been with Learning Tree Cooperative Preschool since 2017. I have an Associate's Degree in General Education and will soon earn my BSED in Early Childhood & Elementary Education, majoring in Teaching Early Childhood Birth-Kindergarten and Special Education. I believe preschool is a wonderful place where the love of learning should be nourished. Learning through play allows children to make sense of their world while enjoying their experiences. As a mother of three, I strive to make each child feel safe and loved. We become a preschool family where everyone is safe, loved and respected.
Colleen McCarthy
Early Learners Lead Teacher
My name is Colleen McCarthy. I have been with Learning Tree Cooperative Preschool since 2019. I have taught at preschools in Oregon, California, and Michigan. I also had a home daycare in Florida for five years. Besides working in Early Childhood Education, I also followed my other love of books and worked in a school library for twelve years. I have two young adult children and a daughter in high school. In my free time, I like exploring Michigan with my family, listening to music, and reading. I am thrilled to be back in a preschool classroom helping children develop a love of learning.
