Our Team.
Ms.Talina
Owner & Founder & Lead Teacher
I have a strong passion for the profession of Early Learning, which is fueled by my love for child development. It is my personal goal to be an advocate for children, and ensure they are loved, respected, treated as individuals and guided through learning using a creative developmentally appropriate approach. As a teacher I love to see children's creativity unfold through their play and exploration, and I love all things sensory and messy!
​
In my personal life I enjoy spending time with my family outdoors. We love to go camping and explore new places. I enjoy hiking at the river as often as I can. I love to read and learn new things about life. I love to journal and write!
​
I hope I get the opportunity to meet you and your child! Thank you for considering us, I understand how big this decision is for you and your family, please do not hesitate to ask any questions.
