Our Management Team

I am married with four daughters and three grandbabies. I have been in early education for 30 years. In 2012 I opened Early Foundations Children’s Academy, striving for a better education for young children. I am passionate about providing every child with the best possible childhood experience and education.

I currently sit on both the Local Childcare Planning Council and the Shasta College ECE Advisory Board. Early Foundations was one of the first preschool programs in Redding to participate in Quality Counts North State, bringing higher quality child care standards to Shasta County. In 2013 I worked with First 5 and a team of educators to create KRS, the Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot used in Shasta County Schools. In 2009 I was recognized for dedication and excellence in child care from both the California State Senate and California Legislative Assembly.

It is my promise to uphold a higher standard of child care. I will provide a safe and loving environment, an amazing curriculum, and passionate teachers for every child at EFCA.
