Ms. Heather

Campus Director

I have over 20 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, with 15 of those years as a Campus Director. My educational background includes two Master’s degrees in Educational Leadership and Business Management, as well as undergraduate degrees in Early Childhood Education and Business Marketing/Management. My career began as a Toddler Teacher, and I progressed through teaching Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Elementary Education before becoming a Director. Being a mom to a soon-to-be 22-year-old son deeply influenced my career choice. His growth and learning experiences illuminated the importance of effective teaching methods and the joy of discovering new things together. Early Childhood Education is crucial as it lays the foundation for academic success and brain development. Each stage your child goes through allows them to see the opportunities in their world of learning whether it is learning about self, how to share, phonics, counting, different colors, cultures, concepts, or simply just having fun. The joy and wonder on a child’s face when they learn something new are incredibly rewarding. I am excited about the journey of learning and growth we will share. My door is always open to address any concerns, and I am committed to creating the best environment for your children. Together, we can inspire and support their development. Every Adventure brings a new Perspective and Idea; So let's Find the Adventures that Inspire the Children's Minds!
