Jennifer Perue – Bears Class/Pre-K Teacher

Ms. Jennifer has taught preschool at Longview Chapel since 2009. She started out teaching the Tigers Class, and then she started teaching the Bears/Pre-K Class in 2015. Prior to coming to Longview Chapel Preschool, she stayed home with her three children for ten years. Being a stay-at-home mom allowed her the time and flexibility to teach Sunday School at her church and volunteer at her children’s school. Before staying at home with her children, Ms. Jennifer worked as an assistant at the Barbara Gordon Montessori School in Colleyville, Texas. Originally from California, she earned her B.A. in Psychology. Missouri is the place she and her family have called home these past twenty years. Ms. Jennifer has a passion for children, and she is thankful for the opportunity to teach. She hopes that she will be a light and a positive example to all the students she has the privilege to instruct.
