What is Sonnenblume?
Meet Rachel
Hello! I'm so excited to welcome you to our preschool community. I've had the privilege of working with children for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I found joy in teaching and guiding kids, whether it was through dance classes, tutoring, or swim lessons. Each experience deepened my love for helping children grow and learn in their own unique ways.
Over time, I realized that my true passion lies in teaching, which led me to pursue a career focused entirely on early childhood education. I had the wonderful opportunity to teach at Candeo Schools in Arizona, where I was first introduced to the Core Knowledge curriculum and the Reggio Emilia Approach—two philosophies that have truly shaped my approach to teaching. I believe that children are naturally curious, capable, and full of potential, and I strive to create a learning environment where they feel valued, respected, and encouraged to explore the world around them.
As a teacher, my goal is to inspire a love of learning, foster creativity, and support each child’s individual development. I’m so grateful to be a part of their journey and to work alongside families to create a nurturing and positive environment for every child.
I look forward to partnering with you and your child as we explore, grow, and learn together!
