Jennifer Baker- Head Teacher
I began working at Here Wee Grow! in 2009 as a teaching assistant. However, I am now so happy and excited to have become a head teacher for the 2010-2011 school year.
I received a Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude from mount Holyoke College where I double majored in Psychology-Education and Latin.
I grew up in Longmeadow, MA but settled in Enfield 17 years ago after marrying my husband Eric. We have 4 children-3 daughters aged 16, 11 and 8 and a 14-year-old son.
In my personal time I enjoy baking reading, swimming, walking and spending time with my family. I am also active in the school PTO and volunteer my time for Girl Scouts and in the school library.
One person who influenced my life is my high school Latin teacher. She was not only a wonderful teacher but also a fabulous person. Because of her, I chose to take on the second major of Latin in college. She made learning anything fun! And, because she had such a positive influences on all of her students, I knew that I wanted to do the same.
