Hi, my name is Stacey. I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education since 1999. My experience in teaching children ranges from preschool, and elementary age children to program management in child development centers. I have my BA in Human Development with a specialization in Early Childhood Education, as well as my AA in Child Development. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR.

I truly enjoy my role in creating a safe, positive and quality learning environment for the children as well as building and maintaining strong relationships with the children and their families. I encourage parent involvement and value establishing a sense of trust and security so parents are comfortable at work knowing their child is in a nurturing environment. I love the relationship aspect of connecting with each child, family and staff member. I have had the opportunity to work in several large preschool settings and have really enjoyed building our family of teachers here at Planet Preschool.
