Ms. Rachel Dorpinghaus

I teach both preschool and Transitional Kindergarten here at CKS. I am originally from Clinton, Iowa, but moved to the Des Moines area for college. I graduated from Simpson College where I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, as well as endorsements in both early childhood education and reading. Early Childhood is my favorite age group to work with because of their love of learning and a strong sense of curiosity.  My goal is to instill that sense of curiosity and create lifelong learners with a passion for school.
