Our Teachers

Ms. Amy is the owner/operator of Friends of Nature. She has been providing exceptional childcare for over 20 years. Her love for children and teaching drove her to open her own childcare center for preschool aged children in 2016. Amy loves all things sensory and isn’t afraid to get messy while helpng young minds explore through play.

As a mother of small children Amy knows how hard it can be to leave your precious little one during the day. She is passionate about providing a safe and loving environment while you are away.

All while implementing preschool standards in a child-led learning environment.
