Maureen McMullan

It is with great excitement that we announce our EELC Teacher of the Year, an individual who exemplifies dedication, excellence, and passion for teaching. This person has an unwavering commitment to providing the best opportunities for growth for every child in their care. They arrive early, stay late, and go above and beyond to ensure their students not only meet but exceed their potential.

 This teacher consistently creates a classroom environment where learning is meaningful, engaging, and fun. They masterfully weave together curriculum standards with creative, hands-on activities, fostering critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning in their students. By thoughtfully planning lessons that challenge students to ask questions, explore solutions, and make connections across disciplines, they inspire young minds to think deeply and aim high.

Not only does this educator excel in her classroom, but her impact reaches across the entire school. She takes the initiative to create school-wide programs and share their knowledge, making a difference in the broader learning community. Her commitment to professional growth is evident in her dedication to lifelong learning.

 In her classroom, students are empowered to lead her own learning. Whether guiding a child to solve a problem independently, connecting fire safety to a color-mixing activity, or pausing a story to check for understanding and foster discussion, this teacher skillfully blends academic rigor with social-emotional growth. Her ability to make every student feel seen, heard, and valued is a hallmark of her teaching.

Today, it is our honor to reveal that our EELC Teacher of the Year is none other than Ms. Maureen McMullan. Please join me in celebrating her incredible achievements and her unwavering commitment to her students, colleagues, and the entire EELC community. Congratulations, Ms. McMullan—you are truly an inspiration to us all!
