Jennifer Cleary (Ms. Jen) is looking forward to teaching your children this year.  In 1996, she graduated from USF with a B.S. in Elementary Education and has been teaching ever since.  Before joining the Hand in Hand family, she taught kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades at Learning Gate Charter School.  During these years, I developed my love for hands-on learning through natural discovery.


In 2004, her son Aidan was born and she wanted to spend as much time with him as possible.  She left Learning Gate for a year and did a job share at Hand in Hand Academy with Ms. Tina.  While at Hand in Hand, she was so impressed with the school’s well-rounded curriculum and caring, competent teachers, that she knew this was the place she wanted her son to go to school.  Last year, Aidan turned 3 and entered the pre-primary program here. Jen also had the privilege to return to Hand in Hand to teach Primary Multi-age.  Jen is excited to be back with the Hand in Hand family and is looking forward to working to partnering with you to give your child the best education we can.
