Meet the Teacher

  Hello! My name is Judy Mills. I am the director and full-time teacher here at St. Valentine Preschool. My family and I have been active members of St. Valentine Parish for the past 23 years. I am the mother of two sons, both graduates of St. Valentine's School.

I received my B.S. in Education from California University of PA, with my area of specialization being Early Childhood Education. I have also received my advanced certification in the Diocese of Pittsburgh to teach Religion in a Catholic Preschool.

I have been teaching Preschool and/or Kindergarten-age children for the past 28 years, 24 of which have been in a Catholic school. This is currently my 20th school year here at St. Val's.

Starting out as a single classroom in 1989, St. Valentine Preschool has developed over the past 20 years to include 5 activity areas and a fenced-in outdoor play yard.  As the director of the preschool, I provide opportunities for the students to engage in activities not only at Preschool and our Parish facilities, but also in our surrounding community. 

I hope you get the opportunity to experience St. Valentine Preschool- "Where Young Hearts Grow!"
