Our Teachers

Tekoah Parnell = Director

Tekoah graduated from Capella University in 2016 with Public Administration. In 2023, she realized she wanted to assist families that needed to work. So she looked into childcare so women could assist providing for their family. She believes that small class rooms can help develop a strong stern child to stand out in this century. She stands for a true foundation and would encourage each child in their early years.

Philosophy

At our school, we strive to create a safe and caring community of young hands on / by Reggio Emilia philosophy. Our program is a place where children can learn through doing, invent through making, and solve problems by working together. We believe that when children are truly engaged with their environment, intelligence and brightness happens. Our team of experienced and innovative teachers do this by creating a space driven by the interests and ideas of the children who inhabit it.

We’re just a short drive away from Sprinkle Rd. and a block from Hwy 94 , yet in a peaceful, quiet location if you’re looking to commute from the Portage or Northside/ South side Kalamazoo- a parent’s dream!
