I began my career as an Early Childhood Educator first as a mother. The passion I developed with my own little learners led me to a field where I can forever be surrounded by children. I have been professionally in the child development field for over 10 years with 5 of those being in Admin. It is my hearts work to create an environment for every child to thrive and for every parent to have the peace of knowing their child is safe, loved and learning. When I'm not loving on your babies you'll most likely find me on the bench of some sporting event somewhere, cheering on one of my own. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Welcome to the TLE Family!

My name is Ms. Kacey. I have worked in the education industry since 2008 with all ages, from infants to middle school. I’ve been in administration for about 5 years. Of all the ages I have worked with, infants have my heart. My goal as an Assistant Director is to provide a loving and nurturing environment for not only the staff and the children but for the parents as well. As a mother myself, I know the trust placed in a caregiver. Please never hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. I have a daughter and son of my own. Between the two of them you will find me at either a gymnastics meet or a rodeo. I am so excited for the experience of working with you and your little one.

Becoming a mother for the first time led me to the field of Early Childhood Development. I began taking classes to prepare myself as a new parent, that unlocked a passion I was unaware of up until that point. Six years later I am so grateful I get to spend my all of my days with children. Watching my boys grow and learn, I knew I wanted this for all children. I began as a Pre-K teacher and recently fell in love with being an infant teacher. I am new to the Admin team but just as excited to continue growing an environment for all children to learn. When I’m not pouring my heart into your children, you’ll find me cuddled up somewhere with my 2 boys!

Hello my name is Sydnee and I am a working mom of two beautiful boys. My boys are my world and they are the reason that I was influenced to start in the preschool setting. I wanted to expand my career and knowledge in child development to become not only a better mom, but a better teacher and guide to the children that I see every single day when I come to work. My husband and I do not have big families, so when I get to work with all of these wonderful children and my amazing coworkers, it’s become more than just a job. I’m really happy that I get to be here and make a difference.
