Jasmine Myers
Center Director
Favorite TLE® Character:
Miss Chievous
Hello, I am Jasmine Martin and it is with great pleasure that I announce that I am the Center Director at The Learning Experience at Bella Terra. I am a loving wife and mother of 4. I have been apart of The Learning Experience Family for 5 years and have over 12 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. I am passionate about early childhood education and advocating for children and their families. The early childhood field has been a great opportunity for me to observe how children learn and develop into independent people and I enjoy being a part of that. I believe using your imagination is an important tool and skill children can develop at a very early age. My passion is truly seeing the children develop, and grow with us.

I want you to feel secure in the knowledge that you have chosen an excellent learning program with nurturing and knowledgeable teachers.
