"Be the change you wish to
see in the world."
Caring for children has been a passion of mine for my entire life and I am truly blessed to be living out my childhood dream. My passion in the field has only continued to grow over the years and spreads deep into the relationships that are built with the children, their families, the community, and with my team of teachers. After graduating from Central Michigan University with my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, I worked as a Lead Teacher in toddler, preschool, and PreK classrooms then began my adventure as a Director. We are so fortunate to love what we do and do what we love!

"Make today so awesome that yesterday gets jealous."
My passion for teaching littles began at CMU where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development and Learning. Fire up Chips! My experience working with young children began early on in my college career and I quickly fell in love with this field. Being able to see how the minds of little ones work & grow through play is my favorite. They are always keeping us on our toes! In my spare time I love to travel, workout, read, and spend time with friends and family! My husband and welcomed our first little one, Beckham, in September 2022!

"If you see someone without a smile today, give 'em yours!"
Hi, my name is Jamie!
I graduated from Rochester University with a B.S in Early Childhood Education. I taught preschool for 7 years as an assistant and lead teacher. I absolutely love what I do, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! I have a passion for young learners because I love creating meaningful connections with each student and being a positive impact on their growth. Fun fact about me is I have published a children’s book about inclusivity, and I hope to write more in the future! In my free time I enjoy being with my family, watching new documentaries on Netflix, and playing with my two dogs.
