Mrs. Corbett – Preschool
Hi there! My name is Maquel Corbett and I am so excited to be teaching preschool this year! This will be my first year at Traverse Mountain Elementary, but I have worked in early childhood education since 2018. I graduated from Lehi High School, where I also completed a three-year program to earn a CDA (Child Development Associate). I am currently in a Marriage and Family Studies program through BYU Pathways! I grew up in Lehi, Utah with my mom, dad, older sister, and younger brother. I still live in Lehi, but now I live with my husband and baby boy. In my spare time, I like to go sit outside, catch up on some of my favorite shows, or visit the aquarium! I hope to make our classroom a safe learning environment, where we can achieve our common goal of helping our kiddos learn and grow in a fun and healthy way!
