GROWING PLACES

Our Teachers

My name is Tinia and I am the owner. I have over twenty years experience working with children of all ages. I have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, as well as in Liberal Studies. My passion is being able to help mold a young child in a positive manner and to put a smile on their face.

Philosophy

To provide a healthy, safe environment with age-appropriate activities in all the core areas; math and science, dramatic play, art, sensory, reading/writing, quiet area, manipulatives, small and large motor skill activities. I am passionate about partnering with homeschool parents to facilitate their child’s education while they are being cared for in my program.

Also, my goal is to have a rainbow of children that get along and embrace each other’s similarities and differences.

Location

My location is great because Alexander Villas Park is within walking distance of my house. This huge park has BBQ areas, climbing structures, a basketball court, a softball field, and a water play area. Also, it is not far from local schools and very near several Amazon Fulfillment Warehouses.
