    Mrs. Mesidor-Vincent: Teacher

    My name is Mrs. Mesidor-Vincent and I am your child's preschool teacher. I am excited to welcome you and your child to our class this school year! This is my 12th year at oecc. I have been teaching for over 15 years. I have a passion for teaching and I am dedicated to creating a positive learning environment for you and your child. I am a committed and qualified preschool teacher and possess a p-3 certification, a master's degree in elementary reading and literacy, bilingual and esl certificates. I have gained the necessary knowledge and skills that are currently helping me work effectively with young children and their families. My goal is to help mold lifelong learners who are happy to come back to school day after day.  

     

    I believe that early childhood educators have one of the most important jobs that exist, because they are preparing children for the world of learning. I am a wife and a mother. As a mother of a beautiful, intelligent 10-year-old daughter, I realized how important the early years are and the positive impact I have on her growth. The early years of children’s lives are the most critical when it comes to their development. They are growing and learning at a phenomenal rate. I am thankful for the opportunity to work in a nurturing, loving environment where children can learn and experience new challenges that will help build their confidence while they play. There is nothing more gratifying than witnessing a young child learn something new, knowing you have been a driving force behind that growth. 

     

    As a teacher, I seek to form a close relationship with each child under my care, and their families. I make use of our community’s resources and incorporate the child’s community into the classroom. I see each child as a unique individual with a great capacity to learn and able to make positive contributions to those around him or her. I strive to provide an environment where children and families from different cultural backgrounds feel welcomed and accepted. I look forward to continued success and new discoveries with an amazing paraprofessional partner, Mrs. Jackson at OECC.

     

     

    Mrs. Jackson-Paraprofessional

    Dear parents, my name is Mrs. Jackson and I will be working along side Mrs. Mesidor-Vincent. I am so excited to welcome you to our OECC family and the 2023- 2024 school year.  I know this school year is a lot different from the previous years and  I know you are scared and overwhelmed, however we are here for you and your child to jump over hurdles and push our way through like a butterfly leaving a cocoon. There are so many things in store for the children as we all embark together on this new norm journey, where your child will be learning, motivated and work to their full potential in a very warm, loving, nurturing and caring atmosphere. I look forward to assisting your child as they begin their life long journey.
