She is passionate about working with children and their families to ensure every need is met while they are away from one another. Being a mom of three herself she understands how hard it is to be away from your little ones which is part of what made her decide to become part of the Early Childhood Community. With over 15 years of experience in the Early Childhood Field, Jenn is committed to creating the best preschool experience possible for both children and teachers. She is thrilled to be able to work along the side of an owner who shares the same passion and vision.

My name is Evelyn and I have been with TLE since 2016! When my husband and I moved to NoCo I was looking for a center that had that “family” feel and even though I didn’t find TLE right away, I was so glad when I did! Previous to TLE I was at another ECE center in Denver for 4 years before my husband and I made the move. I have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education as well as my director’s license. I have been a teacher, director and currently the Staff Support Specialist at TLE. I have loved every role at TLE, but my most important role came into play when I became a mother in 2018. TLE has been my home away from home for years and I can’t wait to build more memories here!

Hi, I’m Jacque McFarlane. I grew up in Highlands Ranch, CO. After graduating high school, I moved to Fort Collins with my high school sweetheart, David, to attend CSU. During my sophomore/junior summer I worked in ECE and quickly fell in love with children. My junior year I decided to pursue my passion in working with children. I changed my degree to a Human Development & Family Studies with a focus on Early Childhood. In 2016 I joined TLE where I have worked in every single classroom, starting out as a teacher aide. I graduated with my bachelors in 2017. My mission at TLE is to create a loving school where teachers and children feel supported, as well as where the children can learn through their play. I am now married to David and we just had our daughter in December of 2019. I cannot wait to meet you all and watch your children grow!
