Miss De Kam
Welcome to SonLight Preschool
Hello & Welcome! I am so excited to be your child's preschool teacher for the 2022-2023 school year. In May 2020, I graduated from Dordt University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Early Childhood, Reading, and Coaching. This is my 2nd year teaching at ICS, and I am so excited to be back! Looking forward to having a wonderful year!
