I have been in the childcare field for almost 30 years. I started with La Petite in 1995 as a two year old teacher and quickly worked my way up to the director role. Over my tenure with La Petite I have played many roles in making our school’s a top notch educational experience for families. My most favorite role as a director is the bonds that are created with the children and families. I have a true passion for doing what is best for our children and families.
