Jeanette Airoldi

I attended Greenville College and received a B.S. in Education. In 1983, I received a Masters Degree in Language Arts Communication from Webster University. I have a Lifetime Missouri Teaching Certificate for grades K-8. I began my years at OLP with a permanent sub in third grade. The following year I moved to Kindergarten and have been teaching at that level for sixteen years.

The teaching environment at OLP is family oriented. I enjoy collaborating with my fellow teachers. Parents at OLP are very friendly, helpful, and involved with their child’s education. Our students enter OLP at various skill levels and we help them begin the road to life long learning.
