Hello! My name is Katrinka Quashie

I am excited to have been affiliated with ECC for almost 11 years.  My love for teaching and education grew from teaching children's Bible class and seeing how many kids 6, 7 and 8 years old couldn't read.  This prompted me to attend college and obtain a degree in education. 

Thank you for allowing me to guide your child!

My name is Rhonda Ambrister. I am a  Secondary Teacher at Every Child Counts. I have taught at ECC for thirteen years and I have enjoyed teaching the  students, and communicating with the staff.

The biggest  achievement I made here at ECC  is seeing the progress of the students, which enlightens my heart.
