Jenny Burkhart

Kindergarten

 

 

Hello!

My name is Jenny Burkhart and I feel so very blessed to be able to teach here at Northwood Hills. This is my 5th year to teach Kinder, and my 4th   year at NHE. I simply adore the family atmosphere I feel here, among the teachers, parents and children. It provides for an excellent and exciting learning environment!

I was born and raised in San Antonio , Texas where I grew up to quickly realize that I wanted to follow in my mother’s footsteps and become a teacher. So I attended the University of Texas in Austin and I attained a degree in Early Childhood Education, with a specialization in Reading . After graduating, I moved back to San Antonio and had a very exciting year both teaching Kinder and planning a December wedding! My husband and I moved up here when he was accepted into Southwestern Medical School 4 years ago. We couldn’t be happier with Dallas , my job and his schooling!

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, reading, watching movies, shopping and working out. We recently bought a miniature Dachshund puppy, named Charlie, so this summer a great deal of my time has been spent loving on him and training him!   I hold many things dear to my heart including my loved ones, my kinders, my faith, learning, and our country. I thank everyone for their support and I look forward to another amazing year of growth, learning and love.
