Meet Our Staff

Danelle Anderson

Director & 3K Teacher

My name is Danelle Anderson I grew up in the surrounding Rice Lake area I’m a mother of three boys: twin 6year old's and a 3 year old. My husband Daryl and I are licensed foster parents and recently moved to the Birchwood area to enjoy the benefits of the great outdoors. I owned and operated a licensed group center, Learn and Grow Preschool & Childcare Center for 5 years and then went on to do in-home childcare for another 5 years until my youngest was born. I have roughly 15 years of childcare experience, working with all age groups. I’m able to develop and maintain meaningful relationships with students and their families which is something very important to me when working with kids. I am looking forward to my new role as the 3K teacher this year!

Caiden Johnson

4K Teacher

I grew up in the Rice Lake area where I attended college, earning my associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I have previously taught at Chetek Kids Club and was the aide for the Rice Lake Montessori School. Through my years of experience, I quickly learned that I belonged in the early childhood education field. I strive to provide the children that come into my classroom with opportunities to grow socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, spiritually. All while keeping in mind the developmental, individual, and cultural uniqueness of each child. Together we will build a love for learning!

Deb Campbell
Afterschool Daycare Teacher

My name is Deb Campbell. I have 3 adult daughters, 1 grandson who will be 7yrs., two 3yr. Old granddaughters and my youngest granddaughter just turned 1yr old. I love spending time with them, it’s my favorite thing! When I'm not spending time with my family, you will find me at Tainter Elementary. I am a classroom, lunchroom and playground aide and have been there for 26 years this year. I’ve worked with children my entire life. I began babysitting at 11 years old and had my own in- home daycare when my girls were growing up. I’ve also worked at three other daycare facilities before finding my new home at Kids at First. I’ve always said kids are my business and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
