2023-2024 Pied Piper Preschool Board

Hi, I’m Carrie Shearer, the co-director at Pied Piper Preschool. I gained my Bachelors Degree in Primary Education in Scotland and while working as a class teacher with both preschool and elementary aged children, I was studying for my Masters in Education. Before I moved to California with my husband and daughter in 2019, I was a Principal Teacher at a preschool/elementary school. My daughter attended Pied Piper Preschool for almost 3 years and during that time I was the maintenance assistant then served on the board as the maintenance chair. Pied piper is the most wonderful preschool and I love that I am back as a teacher. Working with and educating children is my absolute passion and I fully believe that the community within Pied Piper is the most special and unique place to contribute to the growth of your children.
