JULIANNE JONES
English Teacher, La Maternelle

Julianne Jones has worked as a teacher for 2–5 year olds since 2018, including three years as a lead preschool teacher. She graduated from a little college in Iowa about a decade ago, with a year of study abroad in France and a degree in the French language.

Julianne joined the Les Lilas community as the parent of a new student in 2022, and she started as the new La Maternelle English teacher in 2023. She is positively pumped to be able to improve her skills and work with the language in this immersive environment! She can't wait to get to know all of the wonderful children and help them learn and thrive in their early years.


IF YOU COULD GROW UP IN ANY DECADE, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE? WHY?
My favorite teacher in elementary school was my 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Crawford. One day she noticed my reading logs were only ever coming back with rereads of Harry Potter. I didn’t see the point in reading anything else, since Harry was the best! She talked to me about my interests and then gave me a stack of new books for me to keep and read. She helped me learn how to enjoy new things and refuel my love of reading!
