Welcome to the A is for Art Preschool webpage!
Our 2017-18 school year marks the 10th year for A is for Art Preschool.
Boy, does time ever fly!
What started as a fun and gentle suggestion from my friend Carol has now grown into a 10-year-old program which I and a fair number of students and families have enjoyed, and which I aspire to continue for years to come.
A is for Art Preschool is a State-of-Nebraska Licensed Preschool program for ages 3 to 5 in the Omaha, Nebraska metro area. We are conveniently located within the Benson Community Center at the intersection of North 60th and Maple Streets.
My name is Jennifer Borelli and I am the Owner, Director and Teacher. I am originally from Georgia, and have brought my art background from the University of Georgia at Athens, GA and Cortona, Italy to my original art-based early childhood program here in Nebraska. I have now lived in Nebraska for 20 years, and have been adding to my art background the education training and experience that is necessary and cumulative for the establishment and development of a quality preschool program.
In other realms of working with children in an educational capacity, I was a part of Cub Scouts den leadership for a total of ten years, and had the honor of being recognized as Den Leader of the Year in April 2013 by the Lewis and Clark District of the Boy Scouts of America. Additionally, I had a total of four years of Girl Scouts leadership experience, and have teaching experience in pre-Ballet/Creative Movement for early childhood with Adair Dance Academy. Currently I am a Graduate Student at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and completed my Nebraska Teaching Certification in December 2017. I will complete my Masters of Elementary Education in June 2018.
In December of 2016 I had the honor of receiving a Humanities Innovator Award from the UNO College of Education.
I thoroughly enjoy working with children, and can honestly and openly say that the last ten years when I've been teaching have been the happiest and most satisfying years of my working life.
Personally, I am the proud mother of five children who range in age from nineteen to nine, so I also strongly relate to the needs and wants of parents, siblings and families as a whole.
