Meet Our Teachers
Ms. Sarah
Merri-Loo Director and Pre-K Lead Teacher
Hi, My name is Sarah. I am the Director of Merri-Loo Community Preschool and the Pre-K Lead Teacher. I have spent the last 10 years as a Lead Teacher/Center Director at a Head Start program in New Hampshire and before that, I taught Kindergarten at a local school in Goffstown. I have experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I pride myself on creating an inclusive classroom: a safe and nurturing learning environment that fosters each child's growth.
​
I was born and raised in Massachusetts and currently live in Manchester with my husband, our three daughters, and two kittens. All three of my girls play basketball and I also coach. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach, watching scary movies, spending time with my family, and, of course, watching basketball.
Ms. Alicia
Merri-Loo Nursery Lead Teacher
Hi, My name is Alicia. I am the Nursery Lead Teacher here at Merri-Loo. I have nearly a decade of experience working as a Lead Preschool teacher working in a Headstart program in New Hampshire.
I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education from New Hampshire Technical Institute and I have built my career around creating nurturing, engaging and supportive environments for young children.
Ms. Lorraine
Merri-Loo Interim Director and Substitute Teacher
Hi, My name is Lorraine. My current position at Merri-Loo is Interim Director and Substitute Teacher. Previously I worked at Merri Loo as the Director of the school and Lead Teacher from 2001 to 2021.
I have worked in both the Nursery and Pre-K class and for several years as the Kindergarten teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed working at Merri-Loo and seeing generations of Goffstown families raise their children here. I feel lucky to have been a small part in helping them thrive.
I have lived in Goffstown for about 38 years. I grew up in Cambridge, MA and earned me Bachelor’s degree in Education with a concentration in Early Childhood at Northeastern University.
My husband and I have 2 grown children. My son is a Physical Therapist living in Maine and my daughter is a Preschool Occupational Therapist living in NH.
