About This Center
Our center starts with a research-based curriculum and outstanding teachers you can trust to prepare your child for kindergarten and a lifetime of learning. We are located on the 3rd floor of Washington Hospital, and we have lots of beautiful natural light. Sulphur Creek Nature Center comes once a month to visit with three different animals for the children to interact with and learn about. We have had everything from chickens to chinchillas. My staff and I love and receive joy from our children and our work!

Hello! I’m proud to serve as a Regional Director for Kidango.
I began my journey in early education as a teacher’s aide with Kidango in 2012, and quickly discovered a true passion for leadership and supporting staff growth. Since becoming a Regional Director in September 2023, I’ve been dedicated to creating nurturing environments where children, families, and educators can thrive together.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Early Childhood Development from California State University, East Bay, and a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Mills College.
