Hello! I am Rachael Murley and I am going to be your kindergartener's teacher this year. I am passionate about teaching and learning and I cannot wait to watch your kiddo grow in so many great ways this year! I have my bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education from The Ohio State University and I am licensed to work with grades pre-kindergarten through third grade.  

I am born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and so as you could imagine I LOVE Ohio State Football!! 2016 has been an unforgettable year for me as I recently got married to my high school sweetheart and moved to the big city that is Chicago! Additionally, I have played soccer my entire life, even for 1 year in college, and love to be active and outdoors. This past year I had the opportunity to coach both a high school girls soccer team as well as a recreational soccer team for 2-4 year olds and that was a blast. I hope to be a soccer coach in the near future as I get more settled in Chicago and be a part of the Belmont Soccer Club after school. I am the oldest in my family to three younger brothers (or four if you count my family's wild 110 lb. golden retriever).  Other passions of mine include traveling, reading, rollerblading, and trying new places to eat! If you have any recommendations, do let me know :)

I am so excited to get to know each other this year! Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, comments, or stories at [email protected].
