I'm the owner, director and lead teacher of this in-home child care and preschool program. I have 7 years of early education experience and certifications in CPR and First Aid. My 2 assistants have over 5 years of experience and together, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your children! My journey in child care and education began at the Briya School and Training Center, where I worked as an assistant before realizing my dream of opening my own daycare in 2018. I simply love children and truly enjoy to see them grow, learn, and develop into confident individuals. I believe in building strong relationships with both children and their families, ensuring that every child feels valued and supported in their learning journey. I am fluent in both Amharic and English, and my child care assistants are native Spanish speakers, so we can also teach the Spanish language to your child, if you'd like.

At Shaw Little Kids Playhouse, we believe in the power of play as a fundamental tool for learning. Our curriculum is play-based, incorporating the Creative Curriculum to foster curiosity and development in our young learners.
