I chose Early Childhood Education because I have a genuine love for working with and being around children. Helping them learn, grow, and discover the world brings me so much joy. One of my favorite quotes to share with young children is, “You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit.” It’s a simple reminder about gratitude and patience. I also love saying, “Turn that frown upside down,” to encourage positivity and resilience.
I now have my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and I’m excited to continue using what I’ve learned to make a positive impact in children’s lives every day.

What do you want students to learn in your class? I want my students to learn to explore! To try new things, make new friends, and use their imagination to the fullest! A curious child is a child that is receptive to learning.

I hold a CDA in preschool education. It chose me! I saw in my own nephew the strides early childhood education was making back in the ‘90’s and was excited to get in at ‘the ground level’ so to speak. What we teach children when they’re young carries on for a lifetime. I would love for the children to all be able to problem solve before they leave me. Problem solving is so important when when we’re young and gives a sense of independence and self reliance.
My favorite quote ever is by Benjamin Franklin:“Tell me and I forget, Teach me and I remember,Involve me an and I learn”

I have my CDA in Preschool and now working towards my associates degree at Kellogg community college for Early Childhood Education.
I love to watch the children learn and develop and knowing I get to be a part of it makes me happy and so worth it to see them smile.
I want my children to learn that each and everyone is unique and special in their own way and to always be kind to others and to just have fun while learning and developing.
the quote that I like to use is, “this classroom is better because you’re in!”

Office Assistant CENTER 1
1- I currently do have my CDA and am working towards my associate degree in Early Childhood Education at Kellogg Community College.
2- I have been in Early Childhood for over 20 years, it started as an after school job and grew into a passion. Watching and learning alongside the children as they grow and develop has been one of the greatest achievements of my life. Child Development fascinates me, and being able to be a small part of their beginning to education is such an honor.
3- I will not be in a classroom this year, but I want every child in this center to feel welcomed and loved everyday when they are here with us! You can find me in the office everyday with a smile on my face!
4- My favorite thing to tell children is to “Be the Kind Kid, not the Cool Kid.” Kindness is something our world needs A LOT more of, and I wholeheartedly believe it starts with us.

Lead Teacher CENTER 1
1. I currently have my CDA in Preschool Education, and I am working toward completing my Early Childhood Education degree at Kellogg Community College (KCC). I am expected to graduate in December 2027. I am excited to continue learning and growing as an early childhood educator.
2. I chose early childhood education because I have always enjoyed being around children and have had a natural connection with them. When I started my first job at a preschool in 2017, I knew right away that this was where I was meant to be. I love being able to teach, encourage, and support children during such an important time in their development.
3. When my students leave my classroom, I want them to have learned skills that will help prepare them for their next stage of education. I hope they can recognize their colors, shapes, numbers, and letters, while also developing important social-emotional skills. I especially want them to learn how to identify and express their feelings, communicate with others, be kind, and become more independent and confident.
4. “Never stop dreaming and always keep reaching for your dreams. You can do anything you set your mind to.”
I want my students to know that they are capable of great things. I encourage them to believe in themselves, keep trying, and never give up on their dreams.
