About Ms Trish
Hello!! My name is Patrisha and I have been providing care for 16+ years, gathering the experience to educate and provide for children and to manage these facilities. I have spent much of my adult life working in management and enjoying it too. In 1991, I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to educating children and to help them grow with a positive self-identity. Although I have worked with children in the past, I decided I would attend college first, to build my knowledge base before beginning my preschool. I attended Shoreline Community college from 1991 until 1993, acquiring my AA and ECE (both are two separate 2-year programs). Graduating from Shoreline College with a nearly 4.0 average, I went on to take my junior year of Teacher Certification for Public Schools, at Central Washington University. During my college courses, I participated in childcare for private families, volunteered at many weekend camps for special needs children and worked at Shoreline Community College Childcare. I then began my own in home preschool. The joy of watching these children grow for the past 11 years, some of which are now in high school, but have younger siblings still in my care, is beyond belief to me. Other than having my own child in 1996, the love of teaching children, providing them daily care and watching them grow, is truly the most love and joy one person can ever have. I thank all my families for allowing me to continue to teach my (these) children. In 2000, I completed my training for my Montessori Degree at North American Montessori Teaching Training Centre. I continue to take classes and workshops each year in all aspects of Childcare and Children's Health, Safety, Development and Learning.
