Meet Director Theresa Unger
My name is Theresa Unger and I am the Director at Learn Play Grow. I began at Weinacker’s Montessori School in 2016 as a Preschool teacher at our Hillcrest location and then became the assistant director in 2017. I have worked in the child care field for over 15 years. I received my Associates Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix.
My goal as Director is to ensure your children are provided a safe, loving environment in which they can grow and learn as they develop throughout their early childhood. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your children as they explore their childhood years.
