Meet Our Team

Jamie Rammairone

Director

With over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, I have dedicated my career to creating nurturing, engaging, and developmentally enriching environments for young children. My passion lies in supporting each child’s growth—socially, emotionally, and academically—through hands-on learning and meaningful connections. Throughout my years in child care, I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to preschoolers, guiding them through their most important early milestones. My approach blends structure and creativity, fostering curiosity, confidence, and kindness in every child. My experience has also included mentoring new teachers, partnering closely with families, and ensuring a safe and inclusive classroom environment. I believe that early childhood education is the foundation for lifelong learning, and takes pride in helping children discover the joy of learning through play, exploration, and care.
