Rachel Nystrom joined ILC as a parent in 2016. Shortly after enrolling her daughter at ILC, she expanded her relationship with the center by serving a term on the board of directors. In 2020, Rachel decided to make a career change which led to her joining ILC as a substitute teacher. As a substitute, she gained experience in several different classrooms until eventually becoming a full-time teacher in the preschool class. Rachel continued to express interest in growing with ILC and was promoted to Assistant Director at the opening of our new Bristow center.

Rachel holds a bachelor’s degree in behavioral science and a master’s degree in health service administration. She is originally from Maryland but currently lives in Warrenton with her husband and two daughters. Her oldest daughter is an ILC alumni, and her younger daughter is enrolled at our Bristow location.
