Jennifer Loots

Welcome! 
I could never have imagined what a beautifully nurturing and engaging environment Saint John's School of Little Canada was when I joined this team 22 years ago. I am surrounded by students and staff who infuse kindness into my everyday, challenging me and making me strive to reach limits that I thought were impossible. I am appreciated, loved, and accepted for who I am.

Professional Background:
I am a graduate of Oswego State University, with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I also have a master's degree in Reading from the University of Albany.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband of 23 years, Jeff, and my two adult children, Jaiden and Allenah. Both my son and daughter are graduates of Saint Johns. 

When I get some time away from work and family, there is nothing like a good cup of coffee and a little shopping and/or gardening to go with it.

Education Philosophy: 
I believe that all children are unique and must be surrounded in a learning environment that is stimulating, where they can grow emotionally, socially, and mentally. It is my job as an educator to create an environment that allows my students to reach their fullest potential and to feel safe and free to express thoughts, ideas, concerns, and achievements.
