Hello! Welcome to Prep Preschool! My name is Whitney Neumann, and I love being a preschool teacher at Prep! I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a literacy minor. I received my Master’s degree in education at Viterbo University. This is my 14th year of teaching. I’ve taught preschool, kindergarten, first, and second grade. I live in Ankeny with my three kids. We love to go on bike rides, have movie nights, and read books together!. I am so excited for the upcoming school year and can’t wait to make great memories with you in preschool!

Hi, my name is Sue Neumann, and I am one of the teachers at Prep Preschool. Being three and four years old is the best, and your child is going to have so much fun and learn so many things during their preschool years!
