Meet Your Child's Teachers
Owner and Teacher
Joy has been working in the field of early childhood education for over 20 years. She has varied experience working in different preschool settings and has taken different aspects that she truly values to help build her own philosophy and curriculum. Joy's strong interest in early childhood led her to obtain an associates degree in early childhood and family studies and then a bachelors degree in Speech and Language Pathology. She had planned on working as an SLP for children but upon graduating decided that her heart lies in childcare. So after a year of planning, she purchased a house in Beaverton to follow that dream and start a home-based childcare center! Joy is energetic, loving and kind. She values respect and equality above all and her teaching revolves around these qualities.
Emma has been working in childcare for over a decade. During that time she has worked in various positions from nanny to preschool educator. With the varied experiences in different forms of childcare she is able to bring a valued perspective into the classroom. She has a Bachelor’s of Art in American Sign Language Studies and Early Childhood Development. Emma is kindhearted and patient. She values family, equity, and respect. Her actions and words reflect these values that she holds dear!

My name is Nancy and I have been working in childcare since I was in Junior High School. Along with my many years of experience, I have a teaching credential and an early childhood education degree. Most recently I have managed childcare centers throughout Oregon but am looking forward to getting back into the classroom where the real fun is! I have always enjoyed working with children and I am especially passionate about preparing young children for kindergarten. I have raised four children of my own and I know how challenging it can be. It is my goal to help you in this process as much as I can! I look forward to getting to know you and your child. Please feel free to reach out with any questions that you may have.
