I am looking for volunteers to help create some fun items for a mud kitchen! Here are some ideas for what I'm looking for. I think food painted rocks would be a HIT!

Introducing our June Educator of the Month. Kaylee is such a fun and caring Leader of our Flamingo Flamboyance! Yeah, we use College Talk here! ;) If you've seen our website, you have already learned why we are so proud to have her in our Nest!

Hi, my name is Kaylee Sand. I have prior experience in early childhood education and truly enjoy supporting children as they learn, grow, and develop into their own unique individuals.

I value creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel confident exploring and learning. I look forward to helping each child grow and reach their full potential. I am thankful to be a part of this important step within our community.
