Hi! My name is Ms. VanderWal. This will be my first year at Daniel Pratt Elementary. I am a Prattville native with a Master’s from Auburn University of Montgomery in Early Childhood Education. I also have a BFA in Theatre Performance from Auburn University and a Certificate from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. Prior to moving back to Alabama in 2020, I held several positions working with children primarily aged 3 months to 5 years old. Since then, I worked as preschool teacher for 5 years and earned my master’s degree. Additionally, I have worked as a contracted employee with Pike Road Theatre Company and with the Alabama Shakespeare Festival teaching theatre to young children.
