CAMBRIDGE, Md. - For the Robinsons, teaching is all in the family.
Mom Cherie started teaching more than thirty years ago.
As of this year, three of her five children are teaching too.
Jana, Katelyn and Cierra, all known to students as "Miss Robinson," are all working as teachers at Maple Elementary School.
That's the same school their mom taught at for many years.
Katelyn, who teaches Pre-K says in some ways she grew up at Maple.
"I didn't think I'd be here in the very classroom she taught in. I remember laying here on the floor. Sleepless nights, going on the playground and being like I am never coming back here."
Jana, who teaches Art says her mom had a lot to do with her passion for teaching.
"I think that does have a lot to do with it. I think it takes a very special person to relate to these kids. You definitely take your work home with you."
Cierra says her mom and two sisters can be there for each other in a unique way.
"It's been incredible having them on my support team. It's been very nerve wracking of course just because I care so much and I want to be a great teacher."
No longer in the conventional classroom at Maple, Cherie now teaches education at the Dorchester County and Technology Center. She's inspiring a new generation of teachers, like her daughters.
"Teach from the heart, that's the biggest thing. The curriculum will come, but if you don't teach from the heart you will never make a difference," Cherie said.
The Robinsons say parents, teachers and students have all taken some time adjusting to having three teachers by the same name in the same building.
A family all brought together by their love of teaching.
