About Ms. Rachel...
     I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself!  My name is Rachel Johnson and I am the Lead Teacher in the Infant room, as well as UCD’s Assistant Director.  Outside of school I have a wonderful husband, to whom I have been married for 16 years, and an ornery 3-year-old daughter named Aislynn.  I love Superheroes, reading, scrapbooking, and camping.  I travel often with my little family, especially in the summer time.
     I have been working with children for 15 years and have been a certified Preschool teacher for 8 of those years.  I came to UCD in 2012 as the Kindergarten Readiness teacher and only recently switched classrooms due to my daughter’s coming of age.  I attended Highland Community College and received my CDA (Child Development Associate Credential) in 2015.
     I am looking forward to this new adventure in the infant room!  My work schedule is Monday-Thursday, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, so you can always catch me if you have any questions!

Everyday Ways to Support Your
Baby’s Early Learning:

Language and Communication:  Babies express their needs and feelings through sounds and cries, body movements, and facial expressions.  Your baby will begin using words sometime around 1 year.  By the time she is 3, she will be speaking in short (3-5 word) sentences.
What You Can Do:
- Watch and listen to see how your baby communicates what she is thinking and feeling.
-  Repeat the sounds and words your child uses and have back-and-forth conversations.
-  Read, sing, and tell stories.  These are fun ways to help your child understand the meaning of new words and ideas. 
-  Talk about what you do together - as you play, do errands, or visit friends and family.
