Unleash Your Child's Imagination

Thank you for taking interest in this amazing opportunity for your child! I am the proud owner of Tiny Acres Preschool. This is a wonderful “hands on” program for our next generation. I was born and raised on the property of Tiny Acres and couldn’t think of a better place to build my dream. I am the fifth generation to live and work on this land. 

I graduated in 2005 from EWU with a degree in Elementary Education, an endorsement in Reading, and a minor in Special Education. I started teaching with a long term sub position in SPED Preschool and then taught 1st grade at Davis Elementary. Go Davis Dragons! During that time I received my Master’s degree in Elementary Education.  I wanted to do more with Early Learning in my community, so I joined the Blue Mountain Association for the Education for Young Children (affiliate of NAEYC). I served as secretary for 8 years until our chapter closed. Preschool has had my heart since the beginning! After getting married to my amazing husband Terry, I realized that it was time to pursue my true passion. With his help and motivation (he is a contractor), he helped me build my dream. Early childhood development is my passion and it's so important in this community. To help, I currently serve as secretary at the Walla Walla Children's Museum.  I am excited to meet you and your families and get the opportunity to share this magical learning environment! 

 I was born and raised in San Francisco Peten, Guatemala.  After receiving my teaching degree in 1997, I taught for three years before I met my husband while he was serving in the Peace Corps and we came to live in his hometown of College Place in late 2000s. I love to teach and for over 20 years, I’ve been working with children of all ages in the Walla Walla Valley; mostly with preschool and early elementary school students.

I graduated in 2024 from WWCC with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I did my practicums at Tiny Acres in 2021 and have been here since! Before joining the Tiny Acres Staff in 2022,  I worked for over 12 years as the Spanish teacher and lead preschool teacher at Assumption School and Early Learning Center. I also taught in various classrooms at Blue Ridge Elementary, Palouse School, and WW Public Schools. I have a deep, life-long passion for helping young children grow, develop, and learn.  I am the lead teacher for the Teeny Tiny three-year-old class on Fridays. It is a joy to teach in such a wonderful learning environment. Every day feels special when I see the kids' smiling faces! 

 I was born in Bakersfield, California and raised here in Walla Walla! After graduating high school, I went to WWCC where I earned an Associates in Business. I moved to Oregon and started working with kids as a nanny and in childcare center. I have since fell in love with this age group! I am experienced, reliable, and have a genuine passion for working with children. I have been providing exceptional care to families for over 4 years and have developed a strong understanding of the unique needs and interests of children of all ages. I am so excited to be transitioning into the education field! I am currently enrolled in an Early Childhood program and I get to learn from some of the best mentors I could ask for!
