I have an A.A. in Early Childhood Education. I hold my certifications in Infants, Toddlers, Preschool, School Age and Director Qualifications. I have my Administration Admin Certificate. First Aid and CPR. I have been working with children for over 10 years now. I started at Celebree School as an Assistant Director, worked my way into the Director role and now serve as a District Director for Anne Arundel County, PG County and Delaware Schools.
Being able to see the progress a child makes from the moment they start to the moment they leave inspires my passion for childcare. It shows me that I truly made a difference in each child’s life that walked through the doors.
I chose to join Celebree School for the growth opportunity. I was working at The Goddard School prior to joining Celebree and had no opportunity for growth. I then saw Celebree School’s Grow People Big mission and went with it. I haven’t turned back since.
My goal and focus in my current role as a D.D. is to ensure all our schools support the Celebree Mission and to have Celebree be a leader in early childhood education.
Some fun facts about me are that I have a twin sister, I was born on Christmas eve, I love to hunt and fish, and I’m a mom to one little boy. On the weekends, and in my free time, you can always find me down the eastern shore at our family farm.
I’m Grace and I serve as the Director of Celebree School of Pasadena, where I am passionate about creating a nurturing, high-quality environment where children, families, and educators can thrive. Born and raised in Maryland, I have built my career around supporting children through strong leadership, meaningful relationships, and a commitment to excellence in early childhood education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Integrated Studies with a minor in Public Relations, as well as a certificate in Early Childhood Administration from West Virginia University. I am a Director qualified in Maryland and certified in Infant/Toddler, Preschool, and School-Age programs. Throughout my journey in early childhood education, I’ve had the opportunity to grow professionally while supporting teachers, maintaining high standards of quality and compliance, and fostering positive school communities.
As an educator and communicator, I’m passionate about creating inclusive, supportive, and progressive environments where every individual feels valued and empowered. I believe the experiences children have during their earliest years lay the foundation for lifelong learning, confidence, and success. I chose to join Celebree School because of its commitment to protecting, educating, and nurturing children while investing in the growth and development of its team members. In my role as Director, I focus on building strong partnerships with families, mentoring and developing educators, and ensuring every child receives an exceptional educational experience in a safe and engaging environment.
Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, spending time outdoors, and finding meaningful ways to celebrate and recognize my team. I value community engagement and believes that kindness, collaboration, and a positive attitude can make all the difference in creating a school culture where children, families, and staff feel supported every day. I’m honored to work alongside dedicated educators and families to help shape the lives of young children and build a strong foundation for their future success.
I started out at Celebree School as a Teacher’s Aide in May of 2022, over the next 3 years I got my certifications in all age groups and moved into a Lead Teacher position! In late 2025, I joined the OSM pathway and acted as our OSM for a short time before becoming the Assistant Director in May of 2026 right around my 4-year Celeversary.
I have always had a passion for teaching the next generation, and I chose Celebree School because of their commitment to always protect, educate, and nurture every student in our schools.
I am currently enrolled in college to earn my A.A in Elementary Education, from there I plan to get my Bachelors and Masters!
A fun fact about me is that I collect muppet memorabilia and vintage children’s books.
