My name is Reda Bakali, and I am a Pre-K teacher at the International Academy of Cincinnati. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati. I have been working with children for 10 years and teaching at the Academy for the past 6 years. I also attended INTAC in middle school, and it is an honor to return as an educator. As a Muslim educator, I am committed to giving back to my community and fostering a nurturing, joyful learning environment for young children. I am inspired by the words of our beloved Prophet ﷺ: Verily, Allah, his angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and earth, even the ant in his hole and the fish, send blessings upon the one who teaches people what is good.”
