Suzanne Merrill

Owner Teacher Director

My name is Suzanne. I graduated from college with a teaching certificate in secondary education but have since found that my true love is the younger ages. I have taught preschool for fifteen years and first grade for one. I am excited to get back to working with this wonderful age.

The emphasis with my students is in reading and math. I feel that these two are important to helping them in the future. Every day we will be reciting the alphabet, counting, talking about colors, shapes, science, and other aspects of learning. We will also be learning how to play well with others and alone. I believe that play is an important way to learn. Most of the pre-kindergarten students will be reading short books and doing simple math problems by the end of their time with me.

Elizabeth (Bethi)

Lead Preschool Teacher -

My name is Elizabeth "Bethi" Baron and I'm so excited to join the wonderful community at Little Tiger preschool. I moved from the Central Coast of California with my husband and 4 kids one year ago. I studied child development at Dixie State and taught Montessori pre-school in Southern Utah for 5 years. I love the spontaneity that comes with teaching preschool aged children. I loved introducing the important foundations and structures for their first introduction to school. Since then I've been a busy mom of 4 active children, and am so excited to dive back into teaching the ages I love so much. I look forward to sharing my experiences and love of nature and the outdoors with all the students I meet!
