Andrea comes with 14 years of experience in education. She has a Bachelor’s of Science in Early Childhood Education from The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!) and is currently pursuing a Masters of Education in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in Special Education. Andrea, Dre’, started in early childhood right here at at NBCC, and she says, “I feel as if I’ve returned home!”

Andrea and her family recently moved back to Ohio after living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for seven years! She currently lives in Powell with her husband Bill, and two daughters Maddie and Courtney. She enjoys college football, the beach, outdoor concerts, and watching her daughters play softball.

I believe that children learn best when supported through a play-based curriculum that combines open ended exploration with developmentally appropriate experiences.
