Our Teachers

Hi, I am Michelle Lee and I am one of the preschool teachers.  I have over 25 years’ experience working with children ages 3 to 18.  Teaching preschool is where my heart belongs. My goal as a teacher is to build a strong foundation and true love of learning your child will hold with them throughout their years in school. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and going for walks on the beach.

Monica Goldstein joins New London Public Schools with many years experience teaching prek, Kindergarten and first grade.  For 10 years, Monica served as the building science specialist for her previous school.   Monica enjoys spending time with her family.   She enjoys watching her daughter play softball and spending time with her dog Jake.  Monica is thrilled to be a part of BP Mission and looks forward to watching BP Mission grow! 

Hello! My name is Saybl Bouvier and I am a preschool special education teacher. I have been teaching preschool in New London Public Schools for 2 years. I earned my bachelor's degree in early childhood education and psychology, as well as my master's degree in Teacher Leadership. I am also a Mom of two boys, ages 7 and 4.

I love being in preschool because we are the children's first school experience in life, and I am helping them learn and grow into responsible people. My hopes for the school year are to introduce a wonderful new curriculum to our students and to implement all the enriching resources that come with it.

Greetings! I’m Mrs. Elliot, I am a Preschool teacher at BP. I have been teaching preschool for over 25 years. I  joined Early Childhood Center at BP Mission and New London Public Schools in November of 2021.

Preschool has always been my favorite age level to work with. I enjoy seeing the discovery of learning and the huge growth that takes place in the earliest years of school. 

When not in the classroom with my students I enjoy traveling, reading, scrapbooking and spending time with my family and friends. I received a Masters in Education from Wheelock College.
