Announcing Kindergarten at DHUMP! We are very excited and energized by this addition to our program and have assembled an amazing teaching team to create the best kindergarten class ever! Susan Gilbreath and Archana Bhusari will teach the kindergarten class.

Susan Gilbreath holds a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education. Susan brings many years of teaching experience to her classroom. She has taught four years in the British Infant school multi-age classroom (5,6 & 7-year-olds), four years as a 1st grade teacher at the Demonstration School at Berry College and eight years as a 1st grade teacher at Trinity School in Atlanta. She has been a Pre-Kindergarten teacher at DHUMP since 1994.

Archana Bhusari is a native of India and has lived in Taiwan, Germany and the US. She has a Masters Degree in Physics and a Bachelors in Secondary Education. She taught HS science and middle school math & English in India. She has worked for the National Science Council in Taiwan as an English editor for research papers, a research assistant in Germany, and a research tech at Georgia Tech. Archana, aka Ms. Archie has taught Pre- Kindergarten at DHUMP for three years. With her strong background in math and science, Ms. Archie has a natural talent to engage children in scientific observation.

We believe kindergarten students learn best in a hands-on environment and we will continue a thematic, child-based approach to teach kindergarten milestones. Students will be assessed in the Fall and the Spring to track their progress and guide the learning environment for each child.

Continuing in the DHUMP tradition teachers will be available to touch base at pick up time daily. In addition, there will be formal conferences twice a year to keep you informed about the results of your child’s assessment and progress.
