Summer became the Director of Old South Preschool in 2021, after transitioning from her long-time role as a Green Room teacher, which she began in 2002. In many ways the school feels like home to her, and she strives to make sure it feels that way for her students as well. Prior to Old South, she taught at a preschool in Newton as well as at a school for children with autism in Southborough. It was summertime when she interviewed for a job at Old South, so the classrooms were empty when she visited, but something about the building and the space just felt right.
