My name is Mrs. Conkey.  I will be teaching the Brown Bear preschool class this year. I am married with 3 young children who inspire me daily.  I am originally from England and have lived in Reno for  years. I am very excited to integrate my love of dance, and art and music into our preschool curriculum.  I have been teaching under 5’s here and in England for over 10 years. 

Working in the preschool environment is a joy for me.  I hope to enjoy a magical year here at Brookfield.

Hello, my name is Sara Anderson and I began teaching at Brookfield in 2005. I have many, many fond memories at Brookfield and I am so happy to be back working with the students. This year I have the exciting opportunity to teach the Pooh Bear Class. I look forward to meeting all my little students and their families. I know we are going to have a great year and learn many new things together.

I moved to Reno from the Bay Area five years ago and I love the area more and more each year. I have a bachelors degree in Psychology, with specialization in development and behavior analysis. Recently I worked in the University of Nevada Early Childhood Autism program where I taught children, did case management, and trained new staff. I am married to my wonderful husband Jesse, and I have an active little girl Ashley. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, baking and shopping.
