Inspiring joyful learning
through friendship & play
in a cooperative community
"Clinton Path has the small community feel that we were looking for; the teachers have made every effort to get to know us and our son. I love that they can spend lots of time outside and the curriculum provides interesting investigations and also responds to student interests."
-Sarah V, mom to W, current student
"Clinton Path is like a home away from home for my child, it's a wonderful community!"

The Clinton Path Teaching Team
Jennifer Hettman Director
Ruby Pendergast Teacher
Ruby has always enjoyed working with families with young children and loves the humor and spontaneity of teaching preschoolers. In earning her BA in Sociology at Clark University, she studied the history of families and identity development. Ruby values the involved community that parent co-ops draw, and has experience working alongside parents in the classroom. She hopes to help Clinton Path continue to be an exciting place for children where they feel respected and build the confidence to challenge themselves. Sharing stories, making art, and dancing together are some of her favorite activities in the classroom. Outside of school, she enjoys visiting the arboretum, thrifting, and listening to live music.
