Jack and Jill Pre-school has great sense of community and has become my home away from home!! Thank you for entrusting us with your little ones!

Mixed Age Assistant Teacher 

My name is Katy Fyrberg, and I have been an active member of the Jack and Jill community since my oldest daughter started in the Mixed Ages class in 2019. I leapt at the chance to become the Co-Chair of the Board of Directors in 2020, and have now taken on the best role of all as Assistant Teacher in the Mixed Ages class. I am also the owner of Family Tree Yoga based in Attleboro, and have been teaching movement and mindfulness to adults and in preschool settings since 2013. I believe in the importance of fostering meaningful connections as children navigate social emotional learning, and I am dedicated to helping children develop an appreciation for all their bodies and minds are capable of. In my spare time I enjoy spontaneous adventuring, yoga, reading, kitchen dance parties, and general tomfoolery with my husband, two daughters and two rescued pups.

Enrichment & 3's  Teacher 

My name is Christina Renoni, and I’ve been a member of the Jack and Jill family since 2016 when my son started attending school here, and I joined the teaching staff a few months later.  The love and compassion is what drew me in, and continues to be what keeps me here. I have an MA in Expressive Therapies and Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University, where I focused my studies and internships working with children, as it has been a lifelong passion. I continue to use music, movement, art, drama, literature, and play on a daily basis! What better way to communicate and teach! I feel so fortunate to be able to work with the children and families at Jack and Jill, I want to thank the families for trusting me with the support and education of their littlest loves.
