Meet Our Director, Tianna Evans
I have been working in child care since 2008 with all ages from infant to private kindergarten, and have been in management for more than five years. I have my BA in Early Childhood Education and have my Large Center Director Certification.
I love working with children and enjoy creating a place where they feel loved and safe in a learning environment and are free to grow and be themselves. I enjoy spending time with my three girls and husband doing activities like hiking, paddle boarding, camping, and traveling.
