Hi families! My name is Shanyn Hill and I have been an Early Childhood Educator for 9 years. This is my third year with Richfield ECFE and I love being a part of this community! I grew up in a suburb of Chicago, IL and moved here to attend the University of Minnesota where I earned my Masters in Early Childhood Education. In my spare time I enjoy dancing, gardening, baking, and walking/hiking! Can't wait to meet you!
