Hello! I am Courtney Taylor (Mrs. Taylor). I am happy to be part of the Village Meadows Elementary School Head Start community this school year and excited to get to know you and your child. 

This will be my 24th year in Early Childhood Education and my 12th year in the Deer Valley Unified School District. I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in early childhood education from Northern Arizona University and a Graduate Degree focused on Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University.

My family relocated from Ann Arbor, Michigan (Go Blue!) to sunny Arizona 16 years ago. My husband and I are proud parents to 2 amazing boys, 19 and 16. My boys are very active in sports and school. My oldest is attending Northern Arizona University (my alma mater). My youngest son is a wrestler at Mountain Ridge High School (Go Ridge!). 

This is going to be a fantastic year filled with fun and adventures!

 Please feel free to email at anytime.

Hey families, This year, we’ll encourage positive skills, like perseverance and teamwork, with ClassDojo. We’ll also rely on it to communicate with one another: instantly sharing messages, updates, events, and photos from the class. It’s simple, secure, and gives you a window into their school day! I’d like all families to join me by signing up for a parent account on ClassDojo! You can use it on any device: it’s a simple, free mobile app for iOS and Android, and can also be accessed from your computer at classdojo.com. I will discuss this opportunity at our first parents' meeting. 

Stay tuned :) 

Mrs. Taylor
