Meet Our Director, Alicia Poole
I’m Alicia Poole, Center Director at The Sunshine House of Duncan. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Converse College and more than 6 years of experience in early childhood, I bring a passion for child development to my role.
My background includes teaching Pre-K, 4K, and 5K, directing after-school and summer programs, and working as an Early Intervention Specialist, counselor, and Behavioral Interventionist. I’ve also worked with children on the autism spectrum as an RBT.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time at the beach with my family and four dogs. I’m excited to contribute my experience and dedication to nurturing young minds at The Sunshine House.
