Hi! My name is Mrs. Raeli (pronounced rye-lee). I absolutely love being part of the Pre-Kindergarten journey, and I am so excited to welcome your child into my classroom!

After joining our team in November 2025, I stepped into the role of Lead Pre-Kindergarten Teacher as of October 2026. I am incredibly eager for this chapter and look forward to helping our little learners grow, learn, and prepare for kindergarten.

I officially began my teaching journey in 2023, working with children between the ages of two and five. Pre-K quickly became my absolute favorite age group because children at this stage are so beautifully curious, enthusiastic, and eager to learn. My goal is to make our classroom a fun, hands-on adventure where every child feels encouraged to explore, discover, and reach their full potential. I am deeply committed to preparing every child both academically and socially, helping our little learners build the concrete skills, social confidence, and independence they need for a seamless transition to kindergarten.

To continue bringing the best possible learning experiences into our classroom, I am also currently working toward my Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential in Preschool Education.

A little bit about me outside the classroom! I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, in a large Samoan family—I am actually one of eleven children! My husband and I married in 2019, moved to New Jersey the following year, and happily relocated to Pennsylvania in August 2025. While we don’t have children of our own just yet, I am a very proud aunt to 18 nieces and nephews, and a great-aunt to one wonderful great-nephew. Growing up in such a big family naturally nurtured my love for caregiving. In fact, I started changing diapers when I was just nine years old! When I am not teaching, you can usually find me singing karaoke, playing sports, enjoying video games, or exploring new restaurants with my husband and family.

I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of your child’s early education. I look forward to building close relationships with each of your families as we work together to help our Pre-K friends learn, grow, and build lasting friendships. We have so many exciting adventures ahead! 💛
