| Miss Dianna
Preschool Assistant Teacher - Liberty Lake and River District
Hello, my name is Miss Dianna. My husband, Austin and I, have been married for 20 years and we have lived in Liberty Lake for 12 years. We have two teenagers, Kaitlinn (17) and Carter (14). They both attended LLCA back in the day and I had the opportunity to help organize, run and host the school auction fundraiser. It was SO fun! Working behind the scenes, I was amazed at how incredibly hard the teachers work to provide an amazing atmosphere for the children. I have been able to substitute in both schools for the last 1.5 years and quickly remembered why I love this school and the teachers. I’m so excited to be able to work this year with your children, full time, and to get to know them, love them and care for them. Christopher Moore once said. “Children see magic, because they look for it”. I hope I can help kids find their magic.
Our family loves all things sports, especially soccer and basketball and spend our weekends watching the kids play. We love to travel, spend time outdoors, and play games. I loved volunteering in my children’s classes and now that they’re older, I currently serve with a school nonprofit organization.

| Miss Jennifer
PreK Assistant Teacher - River District
Hello! My name is Miss Jennifer. I was very blessed to have been a stay at home mom for 15 years to my three children (ages 22, 19, and 13). Prior to that I spent many years working with children in a variety of different preschool and nanny positions as well as volunteering in my children's school classes. My love has always been working with young children and I am looking forward to working with your preschoolers, helping to create a safe and loving environment where they can learn and grow as they become prepared with the skills they will need to head off to Kindergarten.
I have lived in Liberty Lake since 2003 (but born and raised in California) and absolutely love this wonderful community. My children keep me busy with all of their activities. We enjoy the summers here so much and spend a lot of our time at the lake, hiking, walking, camping or just playing at the park.
I love being a part of the Children's Academy team, and this will be my 7th year at LLCA. I can't wait for the year to start and to meet you and your children!

| Miss McKaila
Preschool Assistant Teacher - River District
Hello, my name is Miss McKaila and I am super excited to join the LLCA crew and work with your children! I have been working with kiddos since I was 12 but became more hands on at 17 by becoming a nanny. I instantly fell in love with having the opportunity to help and watch kids grow while having fun.
I was born in Washington but was raised in Alaska for the first sixteen years of my life. By sophomore year we returned to Spokane, where I would complete the rest of my high school years and an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education with an emphasis on Child Development at the local college this past spring. I even got to complete my teaching hours at LLCA!
When I have some downtime I love to read, bake, play volleyball with friends, waterski when it's sunny, and do anything that would be included in the crafting world. I am always constantly working on a project of some sort or trying out something new. I can't wait to watch the small and big achievements that your child achieves during the school year!

| Miss Molly
PreK Assistant Teacher - Liberty Lake
Hello! My name is Miss Molly. I am so excited to be given the opportunity to work, play, and learn with all the wonderful kiddos at LLCA. I have always loved being around preschool children and watching the joy they get from experiencing life and learning new things.
I had been a stay-at-home mom for about 8 years. Now that my boys are getting older, I have the flexibility and awesome opportunity to really invest my time, love and energy into the LLCA environment. We moved here in 2018 and have really felt so at home in this community. We are raising our three boys (one of which is a LLCA graduate) in Liberty Lake and take full advantage of the beautiful place we live and all that nature has to offer. I have too many hobbies to mention, but my favorites are sketching and knitting in my down time.
I can’t wait to meet all you wonderful families and helping your littles in their learning journeys.

Miss Tammy
Assistant Teacher - Liberty Lake
Hi, my name is Miss Tammy. I was born in raised in Idaho, and graduated from Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston with a BS in Elementary Education. After graduating, I married the love of my life, Ben. In Lewiston, I was lucky enough to stay at home with my twins (a boy and a girl!) When they turned 3 and started pre-school, I got a job at the daycare run by the school. When my kids started elementary, I decided to put my degree to use and substitute teach. After 3 years of that, I found my dream job for the school district in a special-needs pre-school. Seven years ago, my husband got transferred to Spokane for his job, so we made the move up here to beautiful Eastern Washington. In 2015 I was asked to help work with a child in Pre-K for the afternoon class at Liberty Lake Childrens Academy, and fell in love with the school, kids, and co-workers. I have twin 27 year old children. I look forward to meeting your children and can't wait to learn about them!
