Our Teachers

"It Takes a Big Heart to Teach Little Minds"

Stephanie D’Amour –  Director, Teacher

Miss Stephanie started at EAVP in November 2020. She comes to our little school from many years of preschool experience working at The Learning Center at Concord Hospital and other preschools in the Concord area. Ms. Stephanie Graduated from NHTI with an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and then continued on to receive her Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood from Granite State College.

Over the years her passion for teaching has grown and what she loves most is connecting with children and families to create memorable relationships, sharing her love for nature, and fostering individual creativity. Ms. Stephanie loves being a part of the supportive community that surrounds EAVP! She lives in Andover with her husband and their 3 English Springer Spaniel dogs. When she is not at school, she enjoys spending time with friends and family and being outdoors. Some of her favorite activities are cruising on the pontoon boat on the lake in the summer time and skiing in the winter!

“Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn”

Miss Kristie grew up in Shirley Mills, a small town in Maine. She started babysitting at the age of 12 for all of the kids in town. She went to Champlain College in Burlington, VT and graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Travel and Tourism.

 Ms. Kristie completed Learning and Early Childhood at Granite State College and Growth and Development at NHCTC. She worked at Proctor Childcare/Preschool until her daughter, Brenna, was born in 2006. She has a husband, Douglas, two stepdaughters, Robyn and Lauren, who both attended EAVP, Brenna and their dog, Emma. She likes reading, spending time with family, watching funny kid and animal videos, camping and going for rides in her Jeep, “Cathy”.
