Tracey Hansen
  Hi, I'm Tracey Hansen and I have the privilege of being the Preschool Manager, and a teacher at Sandburg.  This will be my fourth year at Sandburg Preschool.  
  
  I have enjoyed working in Preschool/PDO programs for numerous years as a teacher, Assistant Director, and Preschool Manager.  I have my Degree in Early Childhood Education.  As a teacher of young children I know they are constantly learning.  My goal is to plan fun and interesting activities that will help to develop their reading, writing, and math skills as well as their social and emotional skills.  I also believe in redirection and lots of positive reinforcement.

  My husband and I have lived in the community for nineteen years.  Both our children have attended Sandburg Preschool and currently attend Sandburg Elementary.  My son Jack is a fifth grader and my daughter Grace is in the third grade.  I've enjoyed getting to know all the wonderful staff, children, and parents, as a teacher and as a Sandburg parent.

    I am a lead teacher in the Busy Bee classroom.  I am from the state of Michigan and came to Colorado several years after high school.  We raised five children and have been in the Littleton school district for the last eleven years.  I have one son in Arapahoe High School.  

    I was a bookkeeper until I had children.  Seven years ago I began teaching in a small preschool.  I decided to continue my education in early childhood.  I have earned my group leader certificate and director certicate through my ECE degree as of spring 2008. 

Carol Lowell
   My name is Carol Lowell, I'm an Activity Leader in the Carl Sandburg’s Preschool Program. I am happily married to Ed, my college sweetheart. We have two lovely daughters, Heather and Melissa, two adorable granddaughters, Ashley and Layla, and two happy rescue dogs, Skeeter and Rory.

   I earned my B.A. in Social Welfare at California State University in Long Beach, CA. My experience working with youth has included children of all ages in a wide variety of settings. While my children attended primary school I was employed as a nurse’s aide and was placed in the locations where children had special medical needs. I have previously taught preschool at Littleton United Methodist Church in the Parent’s Day Out Program. In addition to having my own classroom I co-taught the music program for all seven classes twice a week. This included producing and conducting the end of the year stage performance for friends and family. Thank you in advance for sharing your children with me.
