Debbie began teaching in 2016 with Ward Preschool as a Fours teacher and our STEM Friday program. She has an Elementary Education Degree from Western Michigan University (Go Broncos!) and a Master’s in Reading from U of M-Dearborn.
Over the course of 10 years of teaching experience in the Elementary classroom, she really enjoys the early childhood preschool age. She believes learning is a lifelong journey and strives to create a risk-free environment where children can feel anything is possible! Learning through play allows children to flourish socially, emotionally, creatively, and academically while developing a sense of autonomy.
When Debbie is not teaching at Ward, she is volunteering through the PTA at her children’s schools and at their church. Debbie and her husband have two children, ages 12 and 14. She enjoys spending time with family, attending her kids sporting events, and Orange Theory.
