Ms. Julie Jones

Lead teacher

Ms. Julie is not only the Lead Teacher at MNS, but also an alumni parent that previously served on the MNS board for two years. With a Masters in Early Childhood Education from Towson University, she was an esteemed AACPS kindergarten educator. After having her daughter and son, Ms. Julie substituted in AACPS early childhood classrooms for three years. Ms. Julie easily earns the favor of all she meets with a gentle kindness, easy humor, and exceptional levels of compassion that make her an ideal leader of our preschoolers.

Teaching Assistant

Ms. Linda joined the Mayo Nursery School team in 2021 after retiring from AACPS after 23 years of teaching. With a Bachelors Degree in child development and a Teaching Certificate NK-6 from Mary Washington University, an ESOL Teaching Certificate from George Mason University, and a Master's Equivalent from AACPS, Ms. Linda served as an accomplished educator for first grade, second grade, and ESOL in both Virginia and Maryland. When shes's not educating and entertaining our beloved preschoolers, she's enjoying her two beloved daughters and two beloved grandsons.

  We are excited to work with the threes and fours classes to prepare them for the school years ahead.  Most importantly, we want the children to learn through play and enjoy being kids. Through interactive and hands on lessons the children will have fun and learn at the same time.   

I'm happy to be a part of the MNS family! I can’t think of a better way to spend the day than assisting Miss Julie with our preschoolers.  It is my pleasure helping our three and four-year-old students learn and watching them grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
