Meet The Teacher

Meet Miss D!

Hello Sweet Families,

I am so excited to meet you all and get to know you and your child! My name is Ashley Dirickson, but the students can call me Miss D. This is my third year teaching here at Mountain View and I have loved it! I have previously taught two k/1 combo classes and kindergarten truly has my heart. We really are the best school if I don't say so myself. We are going to have so much fun this year. I am recently engaged and my fiancé and I have loved growing up in Simi Valley and we love our community. I have always wanted to be a teacher and I am basically living the dream! I love teaching reading, writing, math and art. My classroom is bright, playful, and has a splash of Disney! I am a big Disney fan, I have an annual pass as well. I love animals and have two dogs and one cat. I love reading, shopping, and art. I enjoy spending time with friends, family and loved ones. I also spend a lot of time at the beach and in Arizona visiting family! 

This year your child will learn and grow so much and I am so happy to be a part of that! I love teaching whole group as well as small group. Building connections are a top priority for me in the classroom! We will play and explore daily. We will also have fun days where the classroom is transformed! Of course we will have a Disney themed day!

Adventure is in Kindergarten!
