I have been in Early Childhood Education for 6 years with Celebree School. I was a mother first and foremost and saw how excited my children were when attending Celebree and decided it was time for a career change. Within my 6 years, I have grown from an Aide to a Lead Teacher, School Director, and now as a District Director for Celebree School or North Dallas and a Franchise Business Consultant. I also have a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Delaware.
What drew me to early childhood education is the importance of making that impression or imprint early when a child develops 80% of their brain development before the age of 5. Our core values of protecting, educating and nurturing is quite evident from the moment you walk through the door and infectious. The way we Grow People Big and Small is evident through the teacher’s development and how they help to develop our little ones big and prepare them not only academically, but also socially and emotionally for Kindergarten.
Our focus here at North Dallas is to provide high-quality care that’s focused is on whole-child development, build strong relationships and partnerships with families, and create a safe and enriching environment.
I have been in this field for over 30 years – I have dedicated my adult life to serving children and families. I my bachelor’s degree in child and adolescent studies and have worked in state licensed and/or accredited childcare and early childhood education for most of my career. I have experience in many different programs: preschool, childcare, tutoring, youth sports, day camp, swim/aquatics, and so on. I also managed a residential group home of teenage girls .
My passion is servant leadership. My calling to serve others and make a positive impact on my community is what drives me. I have always worked where my personal values align with my work. I love the feeling of being connected to something bigger than myself. Whether it is being a safe place for children to learn and grow or to assist and support the staff that decide to make this a career as well.
I am originally from Southern California; I grew up less than a mile from Disneyland. I most recently came from a Celebree School in Maryland to become the Director here at Celebree School of North Dallas. I look so forward to connecting with our families here in North Dallas and growing big together!
I have been working with children of all ages for twenty-six years. I am a licensed director in the state of Texas, and I hold a childcare administrator’s certificate as well. I am a prime example of how Celebree School grows people big. I started out as a Teacher, became an Operations Support Manager, and now am the Assistant School Director at Celebree School of North Dallas.
What started out as me just needing a job in 1998 turned into what would be my purpose, loving, nurturing, caring for, and educating young children. The thing that inspires me to continue working in early childhood education is being able to see the children grow at each different stage and being able to simply love on them.
My goal and focus for my current role is to make sure our families have a great experience with Celebree School and that we are doing all we can to ensure that that happens.
A fun fact about me is that I am the biggest kid in the world. This job suites me perfectly because I’m able to be silly, play with the children, and get to hear and watch them play, which is the highlight of my day.
