Toddler & Early Preschool Teacher

Hello, my name is Corinne Rode, I am a School Resource Teacher for The Primrose School of Chanhassen. I am currently working in the Preschool Pathways classroom but have worked in the Infant s/ Young Toddler and the Toddlers/ Early Preschool Pods in previous years with Primrose.I grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota but have moved all around the greater Twin Cities Metro area. I am currently living in Richfield, Minnesota. I have a Liberal Arts Degree with Music Performance/Education Emphasis from Minneapolis College; my primary instruments in college were violin and voice. I also studied Nursing while there but have plans to complete my clinical for that degree in the future. Before working at Primrose School of Chanhassen, I have previous experience working with children and in childcare at Noah’s Ark in Hopkins as a Preschool teacher, Bright Horizons Family Solutions in Downtown Minneapolis at the 10th street and Gaviidae Plaza locations as a float, with the Minneapolis Kids program at various schools through the Minneapolis Public School district, at Atrebla Early Learning Centers in Minneapolis as an Infant, Toddler I, and Toddler II teacher, at McVay Youth Voice as an intern in college at Hamline University, and as a counselor at Summer Camps for people with disabilities at Camp Friendship, Camp Courage, and Camp Eden Wood. I also have years of experience working as a mommy’s helper, babysitter, and nanny. In my free time, I love watching foreign films, Bollywood and foreign Asian (Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese, Indian) dramas. I am passionate about the performing arts be it musical theatre, opera, orchestral or dance. I love a good show. I work part-time as an usher/ticket taker at The Ordway Center for the performing arts so I can get immersed in the performing arts and theatre world. I enjoy playing my violin, baking, and gardening. I spend much of my free time with my family. My husband James “Jimmy” and I have a daughter, born in September 2019, named Lochlyn who attends Primrose. At home I enjoy taking care of my cats and fish.I want to work with and teach children because I know the importance of a quality education on the future of the planet. I want to nurture and help develop young minds so they become great leaders in the future who enact positive change to the world. I was influenced by so many wonderful teachers in my life, and would love to help make better little human beings. I love to watch children grow into the people they are becoming. Every small seed planted has the potential to grow into something great.
