Meet Our Teacher - Mrs. Lynn Archer
Ask anyone affiliated with the Ann Arbor Co-op what the best thing about the school is and they'll say with unbridled enthusiasm: "Mrs. Archer!"
Our teacher at the co-op since 1995, Lynn is a favorite with children and parents alike. In addition to being a former Ann Arbor Co-op parent herself, Lynn brings a variety of experience and skills to the classroom, including:
- B.A. in education with a concentration in child development and art
- Master's-in-progress in early childhood development
- Four years teaching science for preschoolers at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum
In 2001, 2003, and 2005 Lynn was voted Most Outstanding Coop Teacher by the Huron Valley Council of Cooperative Nurseries (HVCCN).
Praise for Lynn Archer
What our parents have said about Mrs. Archer:>
“My daughter absolutely adores Mrs. Archer. She talks about her all the time - even on vacation - and can't wait for school to come around again so she can see her and give her a drawing she's made for her and give her a hug. A hug from Mrs. Archer makes her day.”
“Lynn has such a way with the kids.
There may be several other kids
in the room, but Lynn will literally get down on their level - on the floor if
she has to - and talk with them one-on-one and connect with them as if
they're the only one in the room.”
"I was so nervous about my son going off to preschool for the
first time. But Lynn made the transition go so smoothly - she knew just
what to say and do to make both of us feel at ease. I honestly don't think
he could be happier and that means more than words can say."
