Meet Mrs. Breanne

Mrs. Breanne is a true Floridian, born and raised in the vibrant community of South Florida, specifically Wellington. Her journey with her husband began in middle school as friends, where fate seemed to conspire as their parents lived just down the street from each other, and still do. Although their college paths diverged, destiny brought them back together post-graduation. Today, Boynton Beach is their cherished home, where they are raising their daughter, Camryn, who recently celebrated her fifth birthday and eagerly anticipates her kindergarten adventures.

Her teaching journey spans 14 years, predominantly within the public sector. Her experience encompasses a diverse range of grade levels, from first through fourth grade, including a rewarding tenure as a special education teacher prior to her transition to Unity School. Armed with a degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, she is currently embarking on a journey towards a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. She is Certified in ESE and Elementary Education with endorsements in Reading and ESOL, she has proudly called Unity home for the past three years, imparting knowledge and fostering growth in the Pre-B classroom.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I firmly believe that every child possesses unique potential waiting to be unlocked. As educators, our role is to provide them with the necessary tools, support, and guidance to realize their capabilities. By creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, we empower students to explore their interests, overcome challenges, and achieve greatness. This philosophy underscores the importance of individualized instruction, recognizing that each child learns differently and has their own strengths and areas for growth. With the right encouragement and resources, every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, ultimately contributing positively to their communities and shaping a brighter future for themselves and others.

What is your proudest achievement as an educator?

Among my most cherished moments as an educator is receiving updates from former students, once in my third and fourth-grade classes, who are now crossing the threshold into adulthood. Hearing about their achievements and knowing that my words of encouragement still resonate with them is profoundly rewarding. Equally fulfilling is witnessing the transformation of students who once grappled with school and self-confidence. Observing their newfound self-assurance and eagerness to learn, share their knowledge, and proudly display their skills to their families fills me with immense pride and joy.

What led you to choose Unity School?

Some of you might be familiar with my previous collaboration with Jessica Warner, our esteemed third-grade teacher, before my journey to Unity. It was during the start of the school year here when Jessica reached out to me, informing me of an opportunity for a preschool teaching position. Though initially uncertain, given my lack of experience in preschool education and familiarity with the Montessori method, I decided to explore further. Accompanied by Mrs. Nilda, I embarked on a tour that would change my perspective entirely. Witnessing 30 students engrossed in independent learning within the classroom was truly inspiring. The sight of each child engaged at their own pace, working on various lessons, resonated deeply with me. I was captivated by the emphasis on individualized learning and the robust foundation the curriculum laid, recognizing its significance for their future academic endeavors. This experience solidified my decision to join the Unity community, where the principles of independence and personalized learning resonate deeply.

What sets the Unity School preschool program apart?

In our inclusive community, diversity is celebrated, ensuring every child feels valued. Welcome to Unity, where education is a lifelong adventure of exploration, creativity, and wonder.
