My name is Chelsea-Rose and I am excited to be teaching in the Turquoise Room. This is my first year teaching at First Kids. I have many years of experience in child care and as a nanny. I started my education with OCC and finished my CDA with TeachStone.
I come from a large family. I am the oldest of six siblings. We had many wonderful adventures over the years, traveling to most of the United States and some of Canada. I have a love for nature and adventure. I really enjoy long road trips, outdoor activities and camping. I am an artist who enjoys painting, poetry and doing crafts. I love to study children’s psychology and herbology. With gentle guidance and compassion, I encourage children to explore and learn. Children have always been my passion in life.

My name is Brooke Lynch, and I am excited to be your child’s classroom teacher! This is my fourth year as a parent at First Kids Preschool and I look forward to joining the teaching staff this year. I have a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Miami University. I taught first grade for seven years in Chicago. I then worked for five years as Director of Operations for a charter school management company here in Michigan. I decided to take some time off from work once my husband Joe and I welcomed our third baby. After two years at home with Kyle (6), Grace (4), and Griffin (2) I am thrilled to return to the classroom. First Kids is such a special place and I feel so honored to now be part of the community as both a teacher and parent. I can’t wait to partner with you to provide a wonderful year of fun and learning for your child!
My name is Jillian McDonald and I am thrilled to be teaching in the Green/Orange Room. This will be my first year teaching at First Kids Preschool. Previously, I taught three and four-year-old preschool in the Birmingham Public Schools for six years. Before that, I was a first grade teacher in Detroit. Between teaching positions, I took time off to raise my three children, Madelynn, Riley and Delaney. Madelynn and Riley are twins and will be starting their first year of college in the fall. My daughter, Delaney will be a senior at Groves High School. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and going to my cottage in Northern Michigan. I am so excited to be working with the four-year-olds. As an early childhood educator, I love to make my students’ first experiences with school very memorable. I enjoy helping them build their independence and self-confidence. I like to encourage the building of a classroom community to promote social skills and conflict resolution. I am so happy to begin this journey of learning with you and your child!
