Hello Everyone, This will be my third year as director at Scargo and I'm very excited as well as honored to contribute to such a wonderful pre-school community. I have been apart of the Scargo for almost 7 years. I am a “native” Cape Codder, having grown up in Barnstable and graduate of Anna Marie College with a bachelors degree in Human Development and Social Services. I have been working with children since leaving college in a variety of ways from the May Institute, Behavioral Connections where I was a one on one supervisor as well as in their pre-school setting and as a personal nanny for two local families. I was exposed to Scargo by one of the families I nannied. My nephew Jordan, also attended Scargo in 2016. (He still talks about it, 6 years later) My husband, step sons, Jayden (13) and Cody (10), our dog, Lily and I live in centerville. We love going to the beach, going out in the boat and fishing. I am the varsity assistant field hockey coach for Barnstable High School. This is my 5th season coaching. |

Hello, I am Miss.Sammy and I have been teaching at Scargo School for 5 years. My love for Scargo started when I was 3 years old as I attended for two years. Throughout high school and college I continued to keep my involvement with Scargo School. I graduated from UMass Dartmouth in 2020 and became teacher certified in 2020. I live in Yarmouth with my husband and dog, Buffett. I have always had a passion for helping others and am glad that I have the opportunity to pursue this passion at Scargo School.

Hi, My name is Miss. Brook. I am thrilled to start teaching at Scargo School! I was born and raised on Nantucket Island where my love for teaching all began at the preschool I attended as a child. A few years after I graduated High School I received my lead teacher certification where I taught a variety of different age groups over the years. I moved to Dennisport in 2022 with my two boys, Krew and Easton and their father Patrick. After taking a short leave from teaching to stay home with my youngest son, I am beyond excited to continue my love for teaching at Scargo!

Hi! My name is Ms. Jamie. I grew up on Cape Cod and attended Suffolk University in Boston where I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Sociology. I worked in Human Services in Dorchester and all over Cape Cod! I live in South Yarmouth with my husband and two children, all three of them are Scargo School graduates! I served on the Scargo Board of Directors while my kids attended and have worked at Scargo the last few years. Initially, I worked as a substitute teacher but my Scargo journey led me to full time adventures and learning. I decided to pursue my early education certification because I realized this is where my passion and happiness lies! I look forward to you joining our Scargo family. |
