I am Mrs. Rachel, the owner of Country Acres Preschool. I have worked with children my entire life, it is truly my passion. First I nannied for 10 years. I then attended Sacramento State and received a BA degree in child development. I continued my education at Sac State and in 2010 I received my multiple subject teaching credential. I then taught preschool and transitional kindergarten at a private school. In 2012 I had my first baby and I wanted to open a daycare/preschool. I wanted to create curriculum, provide a continuity of care for young children and teach a smaller group of children so I could really give individualized attention and instruction. We moved to Elk Grove in 2013 and that’s when I opened Country Acres Childcare and Preschool. I have loved every second of it. I love making a positive difference in children’s lives and creating life long bonds with children in my care and their families. When I’m not working I love to read, spend all day at my kids sporting events and travel with my family.
This is my family. My husband Tim and my 3 children, Bennett, Emma and Wyatt. Tim is a firefighter in San Jose, because of his schedule he is home a lot to help. You can usually find him teaching all about our animals, he was involved in 4h his whole life and led the local poultry group for years. He also loves to coach and play soccer and will often play soccer games with the kids!
Bennett, Emma and Wyatt have loved growing up
in family childcare and have made life long friends.

Hi all! My name is Ms.Kathleen and I’ve worked at Country Acres for 3 years! I have a 9 year old son, Devan. I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer in his classrooms ever since he was in kindergarten and discovered how much I loved watching the kids have fun while learning! I’ve always had a passion for teaching and I’m so lucky to be able to do what I love!
When I’m not at my sons baseball practice or wrestling practices you can find me at Dutch Bros. Or Starbucks getting my coffee waiting to go to Target!
I’ve been with my high school sweetheart for 16 years and we’ve been married for 12! As a family we love watching the Oakland A’s and 49ers play, going out to dinner, and going to the lake!
