Hello!  My name is Andrea Devenney and I am the Nursery 3 teacher at Holy Child Academy. I graduated from Cabrini University with a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary education.  I continued my education at Grand Canyon University where I earned my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  This year begins my 24th year of teaching!

 My husband ,Steve, and I reside in Springfield and are proud parents to two beautiful daughters, Kyleigh (20) and Ava (17) and our dog, B.  

It is one of my strongest beliefs that each student deserves an atmosphere that is safe, nurturing and provides stimulants in which to flourish emotionally, academically, physically and socially.  It is important that each student feel that he/she is a valued member of the group.  I strive to provide each student with the encouragement he/she needs to succeed in their academic journey.  I am passionate about teaching, learning and influencing the lives of others.  My hope, as an educator, is to constantly offer an environment that is challenging, safe and inspires students to work hard to achieve their goals.

I am so glad to be part of a community that allows me to do what I love!  I thank you for trusting Holy Child Academy with your child as they begin their academic journey. It is a time of change and new beginnings filled with new friends, new surroundings, new skills and new challenges!
