In the Flamingos classroom, children learn how to adapt to a classroom routine and follow a daily schedule. They learn how to make choices for themselves and take responsibility for completing their individual work. Not only do they learn valuable self-help skills, but children also receive classroom jobs, learning what it means to help the greater good and be a part of a community. At group times, the children learn how to listen and participate, and take turns. Most importantly, children learn how to resolve conflicts with their peers! They learn how to wait patiently for a turn and how to share toys and materials with their classmates. The children learn how to stand up for themselves by using their words when they come into conflict with their peers. Teachers work with the children as facilitators to help them learn how to work through the conflict resolution process together. Finally, Flamingos learn how to work as a team!
Ms. Tie
Lead Teacher
Hello, my name is Tieheera Harris, and I am excited to teach in the Flamingos classroom at First Plymouth! I was born in Louisiana, but I was raised in Denver, Colorado. I have a bachelor’s degree in education, and I have been teaching for 24 years. I have experience teaching middle school, elementary school and early childhood. I have two children whom I have had the privilege of teaching in my time in early childhood education. My favorite color is purple and my favorite place to eat is Hibachi Grill. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, doing stand up comedy, and meditating outdoors. Colorado is such a beautiful place for healing and alignment! I take a lot of pride in being a teacher and I am excited to watch your kiddos learn from my teachings. If there is anything you need from me, please feel free to contact me on the ProCare app. Thank you for trusting me with your babies, and I am looking forward to another wonderful and exciting school year!
Ms. Jenn
Early Childhood Teacher
Hi there! My name is Ms. Jenn, and I am so happy to be part of the FPLC team! Currently, I work as a resource teacher, primarily helping in the Flamingos classroom, but you may see me bouncing around to each room. This is my 9th year working in ECE, with most of my experience being with toddlers and preschoolers. When I had my daughter in 2020, I dabbled in nannying for a while as well, but eventually made my way back to the classroom, as that’s where I believe my heart belongs. I was born and raised here in Colorado, and I have two children of my own. My babies are AJ, who is almost 1, and my beautiful daughter, Wren, who is 5. I also have a wonderful fiancé named Adam. We consider ourselves foodies, so we love to try new restaurants, and we spend lots of time outdoors as a family, exploring our beautiful state. Some of my other hobbies include reading, coloring, and spending lots of quality time with my kids. I am so excited to get to know you and your families!
