SP4K Teachers
Chezyrae Aden
Hello my name is Chezyrae Aden and I am a 4K Assistant at Rock-A-Bye Education Connection.
I am lucky enough to be able to work with 4-5 year olds in our new SP4 Kprogram. It is rewarding to see the progress our children have made thus far. While at Rock-A-Bye I have earned my Assistant and Lead Teacher Certificates and have been involved in many 4K trainings to further my knowledge with this age group.
During my time here, I have gotten to know many different families and children and it has been a joy. I strive to involve myself in the education of each child. I make a strong effort to inform each parent how their child is doing everyday. Here at Rock-A-Bye, we feel that we need to provide every element of education in order for them to succeed!
In my spare time I enjoy playing volleyball, going to movies and dinner with my family.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your child.
Chelsie Hiles
My name is Chelsie Hiles and I am very excited to be a 4K teacher at Rock-A-Bye Education Connection. I wanted to introduce myself and let you know a little bit about my experiences in education.
I attended Winona State University where I graduated with degrees in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. Throughout college I volunteered in a variety of classrooms from birth to grade six. I was also a reading and math tutor during the school year and a worked as a program assistant at a school age daycare in the summer.
I did my student teaching in a kindergarten classroom where I discovered my love for teaching young children. After college I was a substitute teacher around the Eau Claire area. When I moved to the Madison area I continued to substitute teach until I took a preschool position in McFarland, WI where I taught four and five year old children.
I have truly enjoyed teaching SP4K at Rock-A-Bye this past year. We use Creative Curriculum, a play based program that allows children to learn and grow in many ways! I enjoy seeing my children transition academically and socially as they get ready for Kindergarten.
Outside of school my husband and I are busy getting settled into our home we recently purchased in Waterloo. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends and getting outside whenever possible.
Kristin Pichler
Hi, my name is Kristin Pichler and I am one of the SP4K teachers at Rock-a-bye.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 2008 and received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Language Arts. After graduation I went on to teach at the four-year-old Kindergarten program in Cottage Grove.
In SP4K we will work on our social and emotional skills, working independently and in small groups, handwriting, and greater self-confidence. I am looking forward to getting to know both you and your child!
Jane Williams
Hi, my name is Jane Williams and I am one of the SP4K teachers at Rock-a-bye.
I went to college at Bluffton University in Ohio were I received a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I taught two-years of Kindergarten, was a Gymboree instructor, a Brownie troop leader, a religion teacher, and most importantly I educated my own children as a stay-at-home Mom. I ended up creating my own pre-school, Miss Jane's Little School, where I instructed two to five year olds. Pre-schoolers are excited to learn and keep my life hopping and very happy! I just recently received my Master's Degree at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in Personal Development in Education. In this program I implemented an action research project with my pre-kindergarten classes in positive behavior.
My husband, Tim and I have four children: Julianne, Madeline, John, and Elizabeth. We have been residents of Sun Prairie since 2000. I enjoy walking with my dog Bianca and watching the leaves turn colors, which means it's a new school year!
I love teaching pre-kindergarteners and with the passing of the 4K program in Sun Prairie I decided I wanted to be part of this new era. I am excited to share this journey with Rock-a-bye and YOUR child!
