YOUNG PRESCHOOL CLASS

Hi, I'm Marcia Charles and I am a lead teacher working in the classroom full-time. I'm beginning my 27th year of teaching young children. I look forward to another year of growth and learning together. Each year is exciting getting to know each child and their families. I thought I'd tell you a little about my family: my husband, Dave, works for Boeing. I have three children; my son, Tom (21 years old), my stepson, Nick (21 years old), and my daughter Hannah (20 years old). I enjoy exercising, singing rock'n roll oldies while friends play guitar, spending time discussing life with my adult children, and traveling when I can with my husband.

Hi! My name is Jennifer Goldfarb. I have been working at the CDL for four years now and I am very excited to be a teacher in the Young Preschool once again. I would like to tell you all about my educational background. I completed my undergraduate degree here at ASU with a Bachelors of Science in Family and Human development in 2008.Also, 2010 I completed my master's degree in Infant-Family Practice. As of right now I am taking various courses in early and special education. When I am not at the CDL I am spending time with my family. My husband Nate and I are the proud parents of a beautiful 7 month old baby boy named Alex. We also have three dogs who are very much apart of the family named Bella and Twinky. I look forward to getting to know you and your child as well as sharing many wonderful learning experiences this upcoming school year.

My name is Kelli Kyle and I am 22 years old. I recently graduated from Arizona State getting a Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies concentrating on Education and Family Studies. I also was an All-American member of the Arizona State Women's swim team. In the fall I will be attending graduate school at ASU in the Infant - Family Practice MAS Program. I am from a little town in Florida called Lithia, which is right outside of Tampa. I have a younger sister, Kati (20), who attends University of Connecticut for swimming, my mother (Donna), and my father (Dennis) who is retired military. I have lived in countries like Thailand and Australia, so I am excited to bring my cultural diversity and athletic background into the CDL with such amazing kids.
