Miss Verla Ulrich, Lead Teacher

I am very excited to be teaching at Journey Preschool. I feel that children are uniquely created and each with special gifts and abilities. My husband Jeff and I have been married 23 years and we have two sons, Tyler (23) and Seth (21), and a beautiful daughter Kayla (17). Along with teaching, I also enjoy scrapbooking, flavored coffee, and spending time in the mountains.

I have a Director Technical Certificate with a CDA in Early Childhood Education and 18 years of experience in working with young children. I have taught in a preschool setting for 10 years and directed various children’s programs for 6 years.

Miss Britney Geddes, Teacher

I am excited to be part of Journey Preschool. I love working with children and seeing them progress. I have been married to my husband, Rob, for 2 ½ years. He is currently in the Pharmacy Program at Idaho State University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, Frisbee golf, playing the piano, and spending time with family.

I graduated from Idaho State University with a Bachelors Degree in Communication Science and Disorder. In the future, I plan to receive a Masters Degree in Speech and Language Pathology. My preschool experience includes working at a speech and language preschool for a year.

Miss Alma Sopoti, Assistant Teacher

I was born in Albania and I have been in the United States of America since January 2009. I love Journey Preschool and I really love working with the children.

My husband’s name is Tim and he works at Micron. We have two little boys, ten years old and seven. We love and care for them very much.

In Albania I had a beauty salon. I still love to cut hair in my spare time and I enjoy meeting new people. I am very happy to work with the other teachers in this classroom.
