I have been in the childcare field for over 27 years and have loved every moment of it! I have held a position at the Department of Defense Preschool as a teacher, center director in three states, and Head Start director. I moved to Crestview, FL in 2005 as a military dependent. I love this town because of the city’s overall growth and increasing military presence. My two children attended daycare from six weeks to 12 years of age. I am currently a proud grandmother of four children who are also in daycare. The early childhood educators that have worked with my children and grandchildren are amazing and are considered part of our family. This is the type of bond I hope to create between our teachers and families at Childcare Network. It is my mission to make sure that parents feel safe and secure leaving their children with us, that those children leave every day with a smile on their face, and that Childcare Network plays an integral role in establishing a solid foundation for their child's educational journey. My goal will be to make sure each child has a positive and memorable experience that keeps the entire family engaged in their child’s education.
