Sue Naught-Teacher

Let me take this opportunity to introduce myself to the new Little Sprouts community.

My name is Sue Naught (sometimes called Suzi) and I presently live in Bella Vista. I moved here four years ago with my husband who had accepted a new position within the Bentonville area. We moved from Cleveland, OH where I taught K thru 5th grade for six years.

I was raised in Bisbee, Arizona and I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education accompanied by a minor degree in Art Education. I also have completed some graduate studies in Special Education at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA.

Teaching has taken me to several major cities in the midwest and south. Among them are Chicago, IL, Atlanta, GA, Memphis, TN. Lexington, KY and Charleston, SC. My work experience is extensive, ranging from PreK thru 8th grade. Preschool is my all time favorite class to teach. As parents, I’m certain you will agree that early childhood is the most teachable, loveable age there is.

I look forward to being a part of Little Sprouts Learning Center and together, we will have a fabulous year watching your lil’ sprouts grow!
