Rachel fell in love with the philosophies of Trinity when her first daughter started class in 2012.  After seven years as a co-oping parent and facing her youngest daughter “graduating,” she found it too hard to say goodbye and joined the staff in 2016.  A firm believer in play based learning, Rachel has enjoyed watching kids grow and develop under such nurturing hands.  She holds a BA in Communication from UC Davis and is currently working toward her Master Teacher Certificate.  “Trinity is a magical place for both parents and children.  You cannot duplicate the environment or the sense of community one feels, being a part of this group.”
