Welcome to the Home of the Happy Campers PreK Class!

My name is Ms. Dede and I am happy to be back for the my eighth year at Aspen View Academy! I began as a PreK Assistant Teacher and have been a PreK Lead Teacher for 5 years. I am proud to be part of an amazing PreK program and truly love what I do. 
 
I am originally from Arkansas but have lived in Colorado for about 17 years. I have two grown children flying on their own. I enjoy live music, hiking, reading, traveling and socializing with friends.
 
In our program, we strive to meet each child right where they are. We use play-based learning to engage students in all areas - math, language, science, art, small and large motor. Our classroom team includes Megan Toomey and Becca Espinoza as Assistant Teachers. We have lots of fun and will become a Happy Camper family in no time. 
 
I look forward to getting to know our new families and reconnecting with returning families. It's going to be a fabulous year!
