Preschool Teacher:

Mrs. Nelson- jnelson@oakvilleschools.org

Hi! My name is Jill Nelson and I’m the preschool teacher here at Oakville Elementary. I’ve been here since November of 2021 and absolutely love it! I graduated in 2007 with my Bachelors in Arts and Education. I’ve worked in kindergarten, 4th and 6th grade classrooms, but early childhood education has always been my passion. Shortly after graduating I opened The Bean Sprout Preschool in University Place (where I grew up) which I ran for 7 years until we moved to Grays Harbor in 2014. I’ve spent the last few years loving being a stay-at-home mom, but when my youngest turned 6 it was time to go back to work!

I currently live in Montesano with my three kids- Alice, Tucker and Maggie-as well as our 2 dogs (Scout & Millie) and 2 cats (Kit Kat & Firefly).
