    Owner
    Owning your own Preschool is more than anyone can imagine. My dream has come true as I walk down the hallways of a Premier Goddard School like ours. I have a background in Coaching Young Children in Softball, Teaching Preschool, and running my own Design Company. My hamster never jumps off it's wheel, always wanting the next best thing to this amazing environment. My husband and I have raised two incredible young girls who know what it takes to be successful in anything you choose to do. Our goal in Chagrin Falls is the same. We created a very safe, loving, fun environment where children can truly excel in all aspects of life. I am passionate that they graduate being School Ready, Career Ready, Life Ready.

I look forward to getting to know your family as we share stories, solve problems, and watch your children grow and help each other.
