My name is Carrie Lawton and I teach 4K (Four-year-old Kindergarten) at Hunter Street. I have been teaching here for 17 years. I taught first grade for 11 years and have taught 4K for 6 years. I graduated from Winthrop University in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I received a Master’s in Divergent Learning from Columbia College in 2006. I also received my National Board Certification in Early Childhood in 2013. I love teaching 4K and rely on my previous experience in 1st grade to guide instruction of my current students for long-term success. I live in York with my husband and two children. I enjoy spending time with my family and enjoying the outdoors.
