I started my career in early childhood education many years ago when I enrolled in a vocational program for preschool teachers. I then went on to study Elementary/Special education at Kutztown University. When I graduated, I was lucky enough to land a fabulous job doing exactly what I love most, TEACHING! I am certified by the Department of Education to teach preschool as well as elementary and special education. I am very excited to be back and am looking forward to a fun filled, memorable school year.

Mrs. Dana Rice
I have my Associates Degree in Elementary Education and worked in both the daycare and preschool settings. I have worked with children from six weeks to four years old and I absolutely love being a teacher! I have two children of my own and feel being a mother helps me better understand how difficult it is to entrust someone else with your child. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be working here at Kids Are First and with your children.
