AM Program Teachers
Liz Allewelt-Smith
Director and AM Head Teacher
Liz has lived in Davis off and on (a little bit of Napa and Munich, Germany mixed in) for over 20 years. She graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Psychology and then later received her teaching credential with an emphasis on cross-cultural education.
Her three boys are all graduates of DCCNS and the family holds many happy memories of friends and experiences here. She has worked with children in many environments, as a camp counselor, soccer coach, Campfire leader, and in the elementary schools, but her favorite place to be is our Nursery School classroom.
“It’s magical to watch children, parents and families work, play and learn together.”
