Jerikah Weatherston

Preschool Teacher

Jerikah brings a deep love for early childhood development and a profound respect for each child’s inner world to her role at The Learning Academy of Teton Valley. With a background in family and child advocacy with a concentration in pre-clinical psychology, she is deeply committed to whole-child education—valuing not only intellectual growth but also affect regulation, relational attunement, and authentic self-expression.

Before joining the preschool classroom, Jerikah spent several years teaching Kundalini yoga and meditation to children and adults alike. These mindful practices continue to shape her approach to teaching, grounding her work in rhythm, breath, and presence. At LATV, she creates a nurturing space where children feel seen, safe, and inspired to explore both the world around them and the landscape within.

Jerikah’s favorite part of teaching is honoring each child as a whole and sovereign being—reminding everyone that children are not just adults in progress, but complete souls filled with wisdom, wonder, and worth exactly as they are.

An Idaho native, Jerikah has called Teton Valley home for the past year. Outside the classroom, you might find her running barefoot alongside wildflowers on alpine trails, tending her garden with her daughter, or curled up with a good book and a soothing cup of tea. Her soul is nourished by simple daily rituals of stillness, soil, and poetry.

The Learning Academy is fortunate to have Jerikah’s gentle presence and thoughtful guidance shaping its youngest learners’ experiences.

Welcome to The Learning Academy of Teton Valley! We are honored that you are considering our school for your child’s educational journey. Located in Driggs, Idaho, our campus serves students from preschool through eighth grade and offers a nature-based, individualized learning environment where children are encouraged to explore, create, and grow at their own pace.

At The Learning Academy, we believe every child is unique. Our educators are committed to meeting learners where they are, accommodating diverse learning styles, and providing thoughtful support so each student feels seen, valued, and capable. We strive to create a safe, nurturing space where curiosity is celebrated, creativity is encouraged, and children feel confident taking academic and personal risks.

Hands-on learning, meaningful relationships, and time spent outdoors are central to our approach. Just as important as academic growth is the development of strong character, healthy relationships, and emotional well-being. We intentionally model and teach kindness, responsibility, empathy, and respect—values that help students thrive both in and beyond the classroom.

We warmly invite you to explore our campus, experience our community, and see firsthand how The Learning Academy supports the whole child. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a tour. We look forward to welcoming your family and partnering with you in your child’s education.
