Kerie Whelan 

Teacher

Mrs. Whelan earned her Bachelor's degree from Eastern Michigan University in Special Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education. She also earned her Master's degree in Learning Disabilities. She taught special education at the elementary level in Wyandotte Public schools for 14 years. She then had the great fortune of staying at home with her children. With her youngest now off to school, she is back to doing what she loves most: teaching children. She and her husband are proud parents of Meg and the twins Cate and Conor. Her family enjoys spending time up north, skiing and watching movies.

Mrs. Murphy has been with us since the beginning - 2003.  She is currently the Director of Trinity Preschool and the fearless leader of the Four Year Old class.  She graduated from Eastern Michigan with a BS in elementary education. She taught kindergarten in the Plymouth-Canton school district at Bentley Elementary before becoming co-director at Trinity Preschool. Mrs. Murphy has been hanging out with four-year olds for over a decade (and loving every minute of it!).  When she is not at Trinity Preschool, Mrs. Murphy loves spending time with her family. She is married, with three children.  Her hobbies include trail running, camping, reading, and cooking.
