In 2007, my husband, JR, and I were living in Scripps Ranch and searching for the kind of preschool program we wanted for our son. A few moms I knew kept telling me, “You’ve got to tour Mount Olive in Poway.” One tour was all it took. I found everything I had been looking for in a preschool: intentional teaching, a beautiful campus with plenty of outdoor space to explore, and family events that made us feel like we were part of a community. It felt different. It felt special.
A few years later, when my daughter attended Mount Olive, I became even more interested in early childhood education. I began volunteering at the school and eventually became a teacher, all while earning my degree in Early Childhood Administration.
Here I am, many years later, serving my fifth year as Director. I love this preschool with my whole heart. My goal as Director is to create a place where children feel known and loved, where families find community, and where friendships and memories are made that last far beyond the preschool years.
