Danielle Carpenter

Coyote Kindergarten Teacher

My name is Danielle Carpenter, and I teach kindergarten. I have been teaching at our school for eleven years. During my years at Pinnacle, I have worked with every age group! 

I have always had a love for teaching and learning. During my high school and college years, I worked in various daycare, after school and preschool programs. I graduated from Springfield College in Massachusetts with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and early childhood education. My career began in North Carolina where I taught first grade at a Title One school for three years. Once my husband and I moved to Cave Creek, I began teaching in the Cave Creek Unified School District. I taught kindergarten and first grade for three years before landing upon Pinnacle Presbyterian Preschool. I am passionate about equipping children with the necessary skills to become life-long learners, readers, and thinkers. I love being a part of a staff that genuinely cherishes and respects early childhood experiences.
