Judy Halsey taught me how to be a caring teacher, a mentor to our staff, a dedicated director, a parental advisor, a loving wife and a mother full of unconditional love and support.

I get a lot of the credit for our program but the credit goes to Judy; I’m emulating her. Our core school philosophies, our loving-caring environment, our curriculum, our… Everything comes from her. I’ve learned so much from her. I will always love her. Always think of her. And always feel like she is helping me every step of the way as she always has.

She often said: 

Never divide your love; Always multiply it.

That is exactly what she did for her 5 boys, her daughters-in-law, her 11 grandchildren, her friends, family and thousands of preschool & elementary children and their families.

Judy passed away, fighting kidney disease, February 28, 2015 surrounded by her loving family & friends. We mourn our loss and celebrate her life & legacy.

I will continue to honor her by multiplying my love for you and your families. I can only hope I touch as many lives as she has.

Jenni and I have spent our entire lives surrounded by children. Even if we’ve done something hundreds of times it’s always exciting, fresh and new with fascinated children.

B.S. Business Administration & Marketing

I have my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration & Marketing from California State Northridge. 

A little bit about me…

I was born and raised in Woodland Hills. I have three older brothers and one younger brother. That’s right 5 boys! I have 12 nieces and nephews. 

Jenni & I married in 1994 at Saint Luke’s Church right across the street from the Infant Center. Today, we have two children Christopher (20) & Kevin (18) who love helping us out with the school, our family business.

When I’m not working…

I keep active exercising everyday:  gyming, walking, hiking, biking, swimming, snowboarding, golfing, kayaking… We love taking family field trips all over the place. We are working on visiting every state and National Park!  Our favorite family place to go is Disneyland – we get family passes every year. We hope to visit every Disney park in the world!

At home I like to work on my computer making family videos and photo books. I do a lot of landscaping and home improvement projects with Christopher & Kevin.

Even when I’m not working I’m still surrounded by children. They bring so much joy and happiness to me. Their sense of wonder and excitement always makes me smile.

Early Childhood Development Credential, CPR & First Aid Certified

I’ve been taking care of children all my life. I have my Early Childhood Development Director Credential from UCLA and I’m CPR & First Aid Certified.

A little bit about me…

I was born in Boston and adopted by my parents when I was 2 months old. We moved to Woodland Hills when I was 3 years old. I have two Korean sisters who my parents also adopted. My sister Becky and her family moved to Japan in 2004 but visit us all summer long. My sister Lori is still close by.

My husband Bobby & I were high school sweethearts at El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills and we had a beautiful wedding at St. Luke’s right across the street from Halsey.  I’ve been part of the Rice/Halsey family since I was a teenager.

Bobby and I have two adult boys Christopher (23) & Kevin (21) who love to help us out at the school. They both went to Halsey for 5 years. So did all 12 of my nieces and nephews!

When I’m not teaching…

I love to be with my family. It doesn’t matter what we are doing. We love to go on field trips; Sky High, horseback riding, kayaking, Magic Mountain, Disneyland… It’s always fun!

I enjoy exercising at the gym, hiking, backpacking, cruising, biking at the beach, walking and just being outside.

I love being a mother and support Christopher & Kevin in whatever they are doing.
