    • Stephanie Collom
      Owner/Director

      My work with corporate preschools allowed me to focus on my dream of opening a preschool with a difference: a school that provides a family-like atmosphere and offers meaningful experiences in a nurturing environment for all children to learn, grow, and achieve in.

    • JoAnne Dryer
      Pre-K Teacher

      I believe that all children deserve to have a safe educational environment to learn and grow in. I am committed to providing your child with a loving and developmentally sound foundation for a lifetime of learning.
      I feel that EduCare is like a great big hug when you walk in the door. The environment that is provided for these children is so welcoming and it feels like your second family. One of my favorite quotes is: we never stop learning because life never stops teaching!

    • Wendy Glenn
      Pre-K Teacher

      Hello! My name is Wendy and I am a teacher in the Pre-k class at Educare. I enjoy children and the opportunity to watch them grow and flourish very much.

      I feel that they allow you to be your inner child. I love working for Educare because, I feel very safe and at home here, and they are all like family to me and care very much about their employees and children. I do this for the children!!!
