Bellevue Overlake Co-op Preschool

Lisalynn has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from UC Davis, but found her true passion is teaching. Lisalynn spent four years as a private tutor in the San Francisco Bay area working with middle and high school students. She then volunteered as a Camp Fire leader for seven years in Davis, CA. After moving to Washington in 2003, Lisalynn discovered Bellevue Overlake Co-op Preschool. Three of her four children are alumni of Bellevue Overlake, and this her second year on staff. As the Parent Education Instructor, Lisalynn spends one day per week in the classroom, working with and observing the children. She also leads monthly parent education discussions that focus on providing relevant information and tools to help parents learn, grow, and cope. Lisalynn is a strong advocate of co-op preschools as a supportive and nurturing environment not just for preschoolers, but for parents, too. “Parenting can be the most difficult and rewarding task we ever face, and we need all the support we can get. Bellevue Overlake Cooperative Preschool provides that support.”
