Administrators

In 2011, after receiving a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education Andrea Philpot, established the preschool program at Guardian Angels School. She taught there for 2 years while also teaching preschool at HPPS in the afternoons. In 1995 Rebecca Smith received a B.S. in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. After teaching Kindergarten for 3 years and working in Social Services for 5 years, she stayed home with her children and then came to Hyde Park Play School in 2010. Both Andrea and Rebecca worked their way from the classroom to becoming Administrators, and pride themselves on knowing the ins and outs of all the classrooms. With combined experience, education, dedication, and children of their own, they continue to grow the center from a small childcare facility caring for a handful of children, to a successful learning facility with thirteen operating classrooms for infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children.

Together Andrea and Rebecca continue to work day to day, side by side to deliver, cultivate and maintain a program that provides our families and children with consistent and high quality early care and education experiences. They have the unique opportunity and privilege to work together as administrators, friends and family. They're approach is personal, friendly and “hands on." Through providing information, effective modeling, working in classrooms, greeting and welcoming children and their families each day, they strive to create and sustain an atmosphere that is truly nurturing and loving. Their goal, mission and passion remains the same- to work as a support team, sharing and planning, providing quality, personal and consistent care and learning opportunities.
