Teacher, Roswell
Alissa began working in Early Education 17 years ago, when she found a true passion for teaching young children and sharing her own joys in the classroom. Alissa's favorite thing about working with children is witnessing them take the humble beginnings of ideas, questions, and exploration, and watching them achieve understanding and accomplishment from their own successes. Alissa appreciates the remarkable effects that patience, kindness and mindfulness create in our classrooms and always strives to apply these not just at school, but in her personal life too.
Over her career, Alissa has had the privilege of working in a variety of capacities; she taught in some very small centers, served in state-run programs, and in a Headstart within the Indiginous community. She loved creating Pre-K programs at larger private schools, and most recently, Alissa was a Co-Director of a center of 130 children in Washington state. Alissa has always operated as an emergent learning teacher with a serious lean into the arts, so she is very excited to be a part of a Reggio Inspired school where this is a way of life!
Alissa and her husband, Kevin, moved to Georgia from Seattle in 2021. Their grown children live at opposite ends of the country, and they are excited to live closer to her husband's family in Florida, as well as working towards their personal goals. Every once in a while her Canadian slips out with an 'eh'. She comes by it honestly as she was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. This isn't her first stay in the south, though, Alissa lived in Florida for a couple years and loves some of the great things here - the storms are her favorite!
In her personal time, Alissa is an avid reader and enjoys researching a variety of topics. She loves to garden and grow, and she and Kevin are known to wander off into the woods quite regularly.
From Alissa: Watching children learn and accomplish their goals is a truly amazing process to be a part of, and I am grateful to be in a position which allows me to connect with families in such a meaningful way. I am so happy to be a part of the SOWJS team, and this school, where I have the opportunity to share in some beautiful values! I look forward to getting to know you and your family and working together through happy days and fun learning!

From Regine: I truly have a joy and a passion for working with children. I take the time to understand how they see the world and guide them. As much as I love teaching children, I love learning from them too. Education is ever-changing and all children learn in their own individual way. I enjoy working in this field because it keeps me on my toes. I love a work environment that I am constantly learning in and making a difference in someone's life. Being that children are our future, I find it extremely important to guide, nurture, and teach at a young age. I am thrilled to be a part of the SOWJS team!

Shari graduated from the University of Florida with a major in Finance and a minor in Economics. After working for many years as a software consultant for PwC, Shari decided to stay at home when her son was born in 1999. In 2005, fueled by her love of young children, she decided to re-enter the work force.

Looking to work closer to home, she joined the Gesher L’Torah preschool in 2006 as a school teaching assistant. In 2007, she started the same Mother’s Morning Out program at Gesher L’Torah. Since then, Shari has taught various ages….18 months, 2’s and 3’s and, for the past few years, has truly enjoyed being a specialist in the preschool. Seeing the children’s eyes light up when she walks into the classroom to bake or to perform some magical science experiments is priceless.
Shari lives in Johns Creek with her husband and her two adult children, Evan and Jenna. Both have decided to grace her nest once again for the next year. 😊
In her spare time Shari enjoys exercising, spending time with her family and her wonderful friends, live entertainment and cooking.
