Alina Peine

Early Childhood Teacher

Alina was raised in Alpine Utah, and moved to SLC during high school. During her senior year at Highland High, she enjoyed a focus on child development curriculum. She worked at a preschool within the Child Behavioral Therapy Unit, helping to integrate kids with autism into the classroom setting.

After some college experience, Alina enjoyed traveling and being a nanny to many children in Portland, OR, Denver, CO and Kauai, HI.

Alina began working with Montessori curriculum during summer programs, and has loved working with the Infant/Toddler program at Elizabeth Academy. She is in her third year with EA, and attends UMC conferences and trainings whenever possible.

Hear From Our Community

I especially appreciate the school’s focus on the whole child, which includes social skills development, in vivo problem-solving, community and service experiences, the arts, and practical living skills among so many other things! Most importantly, our children LOVE their school and literally gush about it anytime someone asks them.

Words cannot express the respect and gratitude I have for Elizabeth Academy. Our children’s experience (six years thus far) at both schools has been outstanding.

Our girls have attended Elizabeth Academy for six years now, and we can’t imagine sending them anywhere else for school. The individual attention and caring, collaborative environment at EA have been so good for both of them and we love the holistic Montessori approach to education. We also greatly appreciate all the efforts of the administration and teachers to provide our girls the ability to go to school safely during the pandemic. It has been a lifesaver for our family.
