Jeni Andersen
Preschool Teacher
Miss Jeni’s care and concern for each child in her class is evident and she goes the extra mile to make sure each child is progressing. After graduating from Utah State University with a degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education she taught kindergarten for 4 years at Terra Linda Elementary. Jeni is a master at igniting a love for learning in every child. When her twins were born she spent the next several years raising her boys and enjoying many adventures with her family. For the past decade she served frequently as substitute-teacher at her neighborhood elementary school.
Jeni can be found outside every day seeking adventure, or just enjoying time with family and friends. For the past 9 years she and her husband have been mountain biking coaches at their local high school. Jeni loves to travel and see new places, and most of all she loves to meet new people and make new friends along the way. She is energetic, positive, and loves seeing her young students get excited about learning. Miss Jeni has been at UDA Preschool for 4 years.
