Hello! My name is Stacie Rylander and I am very excited to be a teacher with the Preschool Program here at Ashby Public Schools! I have been helping preschoolers learn with fun since 2008 and enjoy creating a positive first experience for the youngest learners in our community. I am a graduate of Ashby High School myself, and live just outside of town with my husband and daughter. In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family outdoors, especially camping and ice fishing! I am passionate about education and take great joy in creating an engaging and creative classroom environment that promotes learning as well as social, cognitive, and emotional development! If you have any questions about our program, please reach out to me at any time!
