“I chose early childhood education because it is where curiosity, exploration, and a love for learning begin. Children are naturally eager to discover the world around them, and I’m passionate about nurturing that excitement in a safe, supportive environment. I believe early experiences shape not only how children learn, but how they see themselves. I strive to advocate for children and families while celebrating both big milestones and the small, meaningful moments that happen every day.”
Jackie brings several years of experience in early childhood education and a deep passion for nurturing curiosity, exploration, and a love for learning in young children. She holds an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and is currently completing her Bachelor’s Degree, which she will earn at the end of the fall. Jackie believes that learning never stops and is committed to growing both personally and professionally to better support the children and families she serves.
She chose early childhood education because she values the powerful role early experiences play in shaping how children learn and see themselves. Jackie is dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel confident to explore, celebrate milestones, and enjoy the meaningful moments that happen every day.
Outside of work, Jackie enjoys traveling and going on road trips, especially exploring nature and national parks. She recently visited two national parks with her boyfriend, Miguel, and looks forward to many more adventures ahead. These experiences inspire the joyful and curious perspective she brings into her classroom each day.
