As the founder and director of Oaks Edge, I am deeply committed to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for children to learn and grow. With a background in early childhood education and a passion for fostering development in young minds, I started this center with the belief that every child deserves a safe, supportive space where they can explore their potential. I strive to create a warm community where families feel valued, and children feel empowered to discover, create, and thrive. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality care and educational experiences that lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning and curiosity, in every child’s future.
Philosophy

I am committed to fostering emotional, social, and cognitive development by creating a space where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to be themselves. I work collaboratively with families to provide individualized care, ensuring that each child’s needs are met at every stage of their development. I believe in the power of play as a vital tool for learning, and we strive to create a balance of structured activities and free play that allows children to develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
