Mrs. Jill
Pre K Counts Pfaff & Summer Camp:
My name is Jill and I started working at Lifespan
in April 2016 teaching full day private academic Kindergarten. I have been teaching Pre-K Counts at Pfaff Elementary School since 2021. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Early Grades Preparation from West Chester University in 2013. I am certified to teach pre-k through 4th grade. I am currently taking classes to obtain my level 2 teaching certification.
I live in Quakertown with my husband and our daughter Nylah, our dog Tyson and cat Whispurr. In my free time I like to draw, paint, travel, walk my dog and spend time with my family and friends. What I love about working with children is that every day is a new learning experience, whether it’s “me teaching them or them teaching me.”
Ms. Candy
Pre K Counts Pfaff:
Hello, my name is Candy Walck and I am the Assistant Pre-K Counts teacher at Pfaff Elementary. I started with Lifespan in September of 2017. I have lived in Quakertown for 40 years. I have 3 children and 8 grandchildren. I have been working in the field of early childhood for 31 years. I attended Bucks County Community College where I earned my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I love spending time with my family, vacationing, arts and crafts, football and watching my grandchildren. My goal is to “touch the heart of each child.”
Mrs. Emily
Pre K Counts Richland:
My name is Emily Dees and I have taught in the Early Childhood field for more than 25 years. I joined the Lifespan team in 2015 as the Pre K Counts teacher at the Richland Elementary School. I have my Bachelor’s degree from Kutztown University. Being raised with a father in the Navy, I have grown to love traveling. Each summer my daughter, who is currently at the Sixth Grade Center, helps in planning a road trip. I love to see her passion for travel grow. During the school year I find it very rewarding to work with your children and watch them grow. I strive to create a family atmosphere with open communication. I look forward to each year’s new adventures here at Lifespan Pre K Counts!
