Covington Cooperative Preschool
Meet Teacher Candace

Teacher Candace joined Covington Co-op in early 2024 as a parent in Blue class. She quickly became involved on the board and fell in love with the school.
When the opportunity came to help as a teacher she jumped at the idea. Prior to joining the Co-op, Teacher Candace taught kindergarten for several years and helped implement a kindergarten readiness program for the YMCA.
She has a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from New Mexico State University and believes wholeheartedly that play is the child’s work. It is how they learn and make sense of the world around them. She is excited to continue partnering with families as facilitators in this important work.
Outside of school, Teacher Candace enjoys hiking, camping, and going on adventures with her 2 kids and husband.
