Hi, I’m Nancy Chalfant.  I am excited to be entering my 12th year of teaching transitional kindergarten at Rocklin Academy Gateway.   I have also enjoyed teaching kindergarten, first grade and pre-kindergarten prior to joining the Rocklin Academy Gateway team.  In addition to classroom teaching, I have directed several early education programs in my 35 years as an educator.  I am honored to be a part of the Rocklin Academy Gateway staff.

I received my undergraduate degree at Biola University and teaching credential at CSU Fullerton.  I have done graduate work at CSU Northridge and University of San Diego abroad.  I hold a child development program director permit, which opened opportunities for me to direct preschool programs at various sites through the years.  I am originally from Los Altos, in the Bay Area.  I spent ten years in southern California, and have now lived with my husband Jeff and three daughters in Roseville for 30 years.  I have been actively involved in my children’s education by volunteering at their school as a classroom helper, art docent, school site council member, PTA member and substitute teacher.

My husband Jeff just retired from teaching elementary education in Roseville. I have three adult daughters and a son (in law). My youngest, Megan, is a nurse.  Katie, our middle, is working as a marketing coordinator in San Francisco and is engaged to be married next June to Hans. Emily, our oldest, is a Physician Assistant in Placerville.   Emily and Tyler just celebrated their 7th year of marriage.  We enjoy the company of Jeff’s mom living with us and my mom living close by.  I enjoy going to the beach, gardening and finding quilt shops along the way.  I look forward to meeting all of you this year at Rocklin Academy Gateway.
