Older Preschool Teachers

Meet Rachel! - Lead Older Preschool Teacher

I started as a CCW and Assistant Teacher Float here at CCCC in December 2003.  I received my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Minnesota in the spring of 2007, completed student teaching in a first grade classroom in 2009, and in the summer of 2011 finished my Masters of Education.  I like to dance, sing and travel as often as I can!!  Teaching children, however, is one of my all time favorite activities!  I have been a full time teacher in the older preschool room since the summer of 2008, and I love it!  I cannot wait to get to know each of the new preschoolers and their families!

Meet Taylor! - Lead Older Preschool Teacher

I started working here in September 2017 as a CCW, and  I was excited to become a full time Assistant Teacher Float and now a Lead Older Preschool Teacher! I received a Bachelor's Degree in English from Hamline University. I first learned that I love teaching through teaching computer skills to adult English Language Learners, and I quickly learned how much I love young children when I came to CCCC.  I'm passionate about the importance of play, as well as learning languages, taking care of plants, and playing and listening to music. I am so excited to get to know families and have lots of fun playing with each of the preschoolers!
