My name is Debra Bittle.  I am a 4K teacher at the Academy of Early Learning. I have 2 beautiful daughters who I adore. I graduated from USC with a Masters + 30 in Education. I have been teaching for 28 years. I work with a wonderful assistant, Ms. Dawn Davis.  She has taught for 20 years in Marion County School District.  Dawn has one daughter, Arion Davis, who’s a graduate of Morris College and Liberty University.  Dawn loves being a mother and working with children at the Academy of Early Learning.  Together, Dawn and I love interacting with our students and watching them develop into eager learners.  We strive to provide a loving atmosphere in order to make school feel like home to our little ones.  It is our goal to promote a positive school experience for both parent and child.  We look forward to a new and wonderful year!
