Hello all,

My name is Jamie Hohensee. I have had the amazing opportunity to be home with my daughters while running an in home childcare the last 5 years. However, it is time for me to take a new adventure and I am thrilled to be joining the Pyrtle Staff and the Preschool Program. I cannot wait for this year to start.

I love working with children and seeing them learn and grow. I feel the best way children can do this is by being hands on and in control of their learning. I also feel that providing a variety of enriched learning opportunities will help foster children’s growth. We will definitely spend our days learning, playing, and exploring!

I have been married for 9 years to my amazing husband Adam. We have two adorable little daughters, Makenna (5 years) and Elyana (3 years). I was born and raised in Lincoln, NE and attended schools within the LPS system and know that this is an amazing district and I am thrilled to be apart of it on the professional side of it now.

I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a degree in Inclusive Early Child Development: Birth to Third Grade in May of 2008. After graduation I worked for a non-profit organization here in Lincoln, NE in the Early Head Start program. While working there I had my first daughter and decided I had a desire to stay home with her and thus my in home childcare was opened. The last 5 years has been spent playing and teaching children ages birth to 5 years. I implemented a preschool program to help the children become kindergarten ready. Last year, my family had the privilege of having our oldest daughter attend preschool with LPS where I gained insight from a parent perspective.
