“I am lucky enough to say that I absolutely love my job. I've worked in early years childcare for over 30 years, and this preschool is my dream come true. I am passionate about learning through fun - everyday is an adventure! Since I have balanced working with having 3 small children, (who are all now grown - 6 grandchildren, so far!) I do all in my ability to keep my preschool affordable and accessable to all families. Every child is loved and accepted under our roof."

“To watch your little ones grow and blossom is the most wonderful part about my job. Being a smaller setting means that every family we encounter, we get to know pretty well. Looking after the most precious ones in your life is not a job we take lightly, and when the time comes to say goodbye for big school, I'll be in the corner crying!”
