Welcome to Kindergarten! We are about to embark on an amazing journey together, and I am thrilled to be your child’s French teacher this year! I look forward to getting to know your child and collaborating with you.

I hold a master's degree and am certified to teach French K-12. In my leisure time, I enjoy reading books about eastern religions, meditating, and practicing breathing exercises daily. I also love cooking, traveling, gardening, and singing.

My name is Elese Boale, and I am delighted to be a part of  this school community. I was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and immigrated to Belgium as a young child before relocating to the United States after high school.

My background has been shaped by extensive international experience—I have lived and traveled to numerous countries as part of an expatriate family. This exposure has fostered a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, cuisines, and traditions. I am passionate about languages and am fluent in French, English, and Lingala, with conversational proficiency in Spanish. .

As a mother of three, I find great fulfillment in working with children. I am excited and honored to be working with your children this year and look forward to contributing to their growth and development.
