Our Kindergarten Classroom Teachers & Staff
Ms. Riley Douglass
Let’s get to know each other!
I’m Riley, and I wanted to tell you a little about myself. I instructed at Aqua Tots Swim School for 2 years in high school and fell in love with teaching. I taught in the Preschool and Pre-K classrooms at Primrose, and did student teaching for kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grades. I recently graduated from Wright State University with a degree in Elementary Education, and I am so excited to have my own classroom this year!
I have 4 years of experience in childcare and teaching. My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. My favorite thing about working with children is getting to know their different personalities. I absolutely love the children’s book “Corduroy,” and Christmas is my favorite holiday. Our favorite family tradition is having a family cornhole tournament. At home, we speak English and have two cats named Betty and Francis. In my personal time, I enjoy taking photos, working out, playing disc golf, and going thrift shopping.
I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.
