St. Timothy's Episcopal Church

  
  Teachers
We have a very low turnover at St. Timothy's. Our three dedicated teachers have taught as a team for years. These teachers were selected for their kind, nurturing approach, their creativity, their experiences with their own children at St. Tim's, and their knowledge of child development.

Helen Wooldridge, Director

Helen Wooldridge, DirectorHelen has earned a BA in Languages and Child Psychology and has an additional 30 units in Early Childhood Education. She began teaching at St. Timothy’s Preschool in 1977. Her two children were students at St. Tim's.

"I began my teaching career giving ballet lessons to neighborhood children and continued into high school. I love children. They delight me with their fresh, innocent and honest perspective on life. They make me laugh. They give me hope. We learn from each other every day." — Helen Wooldridge

A parent wrote to me, "As Director of the school, you are thorough and efficient, yet as a teacher, you are enthusiastic, insightful and, above all, caring. Thank you to you and your talented staff for making my children's experience such a positive one." — Maria H.
