Leslie is excited to join CDS this year as the Cubs Assistant Teacher and Extended Day Teacher. Leslie is a Charlottesville native with lots of experience working with young children in a variety of settings. For the last five years she was a lead teacher in an infant room at a childcare center. Her love for young children, bright smile, and warmth make the perfect combination for our youngest CDS bears. When away from school, she enjoys spending time with her son Preston, age 8, and her beloved dog, Zeppelin.
