About Rachel Kowatch
Hello! My name is Rachel Kowatch. I have been married to my husband, Dan, for 25 years. We have six children; Aidan, Colin, Luke, Connor, Olivia & Abigail. Five of our six kids are former Little Lambs! We have lived in the greater Caledonia area for 24 years.
I have been a parent aide and board member at Little Lambs with each of my children over the past 14 years. I also have a Master of Social Work. I specialized in working with children and adolescents for nearly 15 years in child welfare and outpatient counseling. Since starting our family, I have continued to work with children as an elementary school faith formation catechist and preschool lead teacher for our church's VBS program. I am excited for this opportunity to teach our Little Lambs!

About Stefanie Selby
Hello! My name is Stefanie Selby. The biggest blessings in my life are my three children (Sofia, Riley, and Wyatt) and my husband, Lee. We recently celebrated ten years of marriage. I love spending time with my family!
I've been drawn to children my whole life, so when God laid the path, I followed it! After working for years with children in all sorts of settings, I decided to go back to school and become a professional in the field. I worked as an au pair for two years across the country. I was a ski instructor for four years in Austria and Boyne Mountain. I graduated with my AAAS in Early Child Development from GRCC and worked for almost two years as a preschool teacher at the GRCC Lab Preschool. God has called me back to teach again here at Little Lambs. I can't wait to meet you and your child!
