Janice Pearson, Director
Janice obtained a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Madonna in 2017. As a child, she developed a love for learning and crafts, which led to her aspiration of becoming a teacher. Her ultimate goal was to open a preschool that would cater to the needs of both parents and children. After years of experience in Early Childhood as a mother, educator, trainer, and consultant, she became passionate about giving back to the community by laying a supportive foundation for children in their early years.
