PreK Teacher

I am very happy to be a part of the Little Sprouts Preschool staff. I have taught kindergarten and preschool for over 25 years. I love children, especially the little ones. When I am not working, I love to be with my family, especially my son Taylor. I cherish my time with him, and I visit whenever I can. I live with my yellow lab Bella and enjoy going on walks with her, reading, playing golf (please don't ask my handicap) and watching football. Go Hawks! I am looking forward to an exciting year working with your precious children.

PreK Teacher

I am a wife and mother to my son Aiden who attended Little Sprouts where I volunteered in Miss Martie’s classroom once a week as the Handwriting Assistant. I was so impressed with the quality of education he received that I knew I had to be a part of this wonderful team. I have a bachelor’s degree in Youth Leadership and a master’s degree in Education. I spent a year teaching English to children in Moscow, Russia, and was a Kindergarten Teacher’s Assistant for one year at a private elementary school. After receiving my master’s degree, I spent 14 years in teaching and administration at the college level. I live in Sumner with my husband and son and feel so blessed to be a part of Little Sprouts.

3- & 4- Year Old Teacher

Born and raised in the Portland area, Sandy married and raised their daughter, Heather, and two sons, Andrew & Jordan. At her home church, Sandy worked with preschoolers as a Sunday School Teacher, as well as holding the position of Children & Family Ministries Director for four years. Sandy and her family moved to Washington in 2015, and she joined the Little Sprouts team in early 2016. When she isn’t spending time with her grandchildren, Sandy enjoys sewing, reading and gardening. When the weather cooperates, biking and hiking may be on the agenda. We love Miss Sandy’s playful spirit and wealth of curriculum ideas!
