Teacher Assistant, Mrs. Rosie
Hello,
I've worked with children since 2007. I have 3 children and began volunteering in their classrooms in 2008. I hold a ParaPro Certificate.  I love teaching and assisting in PreK; it's truly a joy to work with this age group. They are so happy to learn and discover new things, in addition to creating arts and crafts. They enthusiastically greet me every day!
I enjoy taking long walks, especially with my family. We love to fish, discover new trails, and explore National Parks. 
I love working here!

Lead Teacher, Ms. Elaine
Hello,
I have six children and four grandchildren. I began volunteering in their classrooms in 1984. I've owned my own preschool for four years, and I've taught Kindergarten, Preschool, and Prek for 27 years! I joined Kids Way in 2016.
I hold a Child Development Associate Credential, a Master Teacher Training Certificate, and True Colors Training. In addition, I have in-depth knowledge of learning and personality styles. This important knowledge is helpful for all children to be successful. 
I love camping! I also enjoy gardening and spending time with my family. We have a sassy dog named Benny, who keeps us busy!
I love working with children and seeing their faces light up with excitement when they are learning something new. Followed by the proud look on their faces when they show me their accomplishments. It is heartwarming to help children through challenging times and then help them use that newfound knowledge "next time."

Hello,
I grew up and graduated high school in Lake Stevens. I have worked with kids for many years. It is so rewarding and fun. I love to see the world through a child's eye, while watching them grow and learn. They grow up so fast!
My husband and I have two grown sons and four grandchildren. Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do. I'm an animal lover; we have three dogs, but I would love to have more. They are my babies. Thank you for learning a little about me, and have a great day!
