Marquise is the Kindergarten 1 teacher. She was born in Port-au-Prince, and was part of Lemuel’s ministry in its early years, when it was active in Port-au-Prince. She is now married and has a son, Maximilliano, who is 4 years old.
Marquise joined the EML staff in 2015. Her greatest joy is when all her students come to school. Her greatest challenge is keeping the children’s attention and interest when they are tired and hungry.
Marquise hopes that her students will become great things. She hopes that the principles and discipline that she teaches them will help them succeed in life.
From the Director: “I appreciate how well Marquise has adapted to our school.”
Nadege serves as the faithful kindergarten assistant. She helps out with all three levels, but is most often in the Kindergarten 1 class–these little cuties are all about 2-3 years old, so they require a bit more attention!
