Marlo Landis
Hello! My name is Marlo Landis,a.k.a. Miss Marlo. This will be my second year teaching at FPCP. I will be teaching the Grizzlies class. My husband Mike and I moved to the Indianapolis area from Pittsburgh, PA about 5 years ago. We have twin six year old sons Alex and Evan. They are recent graduates of FPCP and just started Kindergarten this year. I have a degree in Elementary Education and have nearly 10 years of experience working with children. The preschool years are my favorite! The children are so excited to learn new things. They have such a love of learning! After experiencing Co-op with my own children, I know that this is the best place to nurture that love and watch it grow! I am looking forward to a fun and exciting new year here at FPCP!

Teacher Supply Wishlist

Over the years the teachers have often been asked if the school needed "back to school" supplies. Many parents have expressed that their children want to join in "back to school" shopping too! This year as we move into our school's new home, those back to school purchases and donations will be needed and appreciated more than ever. If there are any items you are able to donate, please contact your classroom teacher.
