Denine Hicks, M.A. Ed.
As the lead teacher and owner of Little Ducklings Preschool & Childcare, I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Studies, a Minor in Music, a Master of Arts Degree in Education at Cal Poly, a California Teaching Credential, and I continue my education in Early Childhood through the Quality Counts program, attending conferences, and more. I have over a decade of experience teaching in public schools in San Luis Obispo County, primarily in Templeton where I taught kindergarten, first grade, fourth grade, and music. In addition, I worked for the United Methodist Church teaching children’s music and coordinating Family Ministries. Since 2013, I have run Little Ducklings Preschool & Childcare, serving over a hundred children. Most importantly, I have over 27 years of experience as Mom to my own children.
