Hello Busy Bee Families,

We are getting our classroom ready for a new school year and are so excited to have you be a part of the journey. Open house will be Wednesday August 27th from 9:00-11:00 AM. This is a great time to get your child comfortable with the classroom and meet the teachers. It also will give you a chance to ask questions or tell me of concerns you may have. Please plan on dropping in and saying hello.Classes will begin on Thursday September 4th.





Welcome to the Busy Bee Classroom!

Hello Families,
Thank you for letting me be a part of your child’s pre-school experience.  My name is Kim Rivoli and I will be the teacher in the Busy Bee classroom this year. I am very excited about the year ahead and about getting to know you and your child.
First let me tell you a bit about myself.  I have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education from Clark College and have 27 years experience teaching young children.  I have been here at Little Acorn Preschool and Kindergarten for 13 years.  I previously spent 5 years teaching the three year-olds in the Star Class before taking the Busy Bee class. I am married and my husband Rob and I have three kids.  Travis who is 27, Derek is 24 and just getting married this summer and a daughter, Nicole is 19 and attends Central washington University  in Ellensburg.  We are proud Grandparents! Our son Travis and his wife have two boys,Paxton who is 3 and Oliver who is 4 months old. I'll try not to do too much bragging, but it really is amazing being a Grandma! We live in Ridgefield on a few acres and have two dogs, a cat and our two goats,Mario and Luigi.
I have found that when parents are positive about Pre-school and let their child know that school is great, the child feels good about coming to class.  That makes learning and exploring a wonderful experience.  Parents are always welcome in our classroom.  I encourage you to ask questions or let me know of your concerns.  If there is something you can tell me about your child that will help me get to know them or make them feel more comfortable, please let me know.
I am ready to get started and hope you and your child are ready for a school year full of learning and exploring.
Teacher Kim
