MEET OUR TEACHERS
Little Learners Preschool Began in 2010 under the direction of Telena Hall. Over the years, it has grown to include many wonderful teachers. The education of our teachers is just as important as that of our students. All of our teachers are certified teachers, and have years of experience in a classroom. Our teachers strive to create age appropriate learning experiences to stretch our young learners minds.
This is us
Owner/Director
Telena Hall
Telena grew up in Pocatello and after high school, attended Ricks College (now BYU-I) and BYU and received her degree in Elementary Education. She started Little Learners Preschool in 2010, when her second child was small so that she could be home to raise her children and still have the opportunity to teach.
