 Director & Head Teacher: Lindsay [She/Her] Happy Steps is my program, and I've been working with children since 2002! I am very invested in the quality of care that we provide, as this work means everything to me! I began working from home with children in 2002 to stay home with my own babies, and quickly realized it's what gives my life its deepest sense purpose! I absolutely love knowing how many lives I've touched in a positive way over the years. I value the positive impact I make on the child's heart, mind, and future, and how I help them build a solid foundation and strong sense of self. This is a life calling for me.❤️ I also have an associate's degree, with an extra year of studies in early childhood education, child development, and family studies. In addition, I have over 400 other training hours related to child care, including courses such as: Making Learning Fun, Discipline in Child Care, Conflict Resolution in Child Care, Nurturing Children's Self-Esteem, Active or Hyper-Active?, Preschoolers in Child Care, Caring for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and many more. Learn more about my parent coaching services HERE. I write books about children and for children. FIND THEM HERE.
 Preschool Teacher: Blake [They/them] Blake has been a full-time teacher and substitute for Happy Steps since they became teacher qualified by the state of Oregon in 2017! Before that, they were a regular volunteer during summer break and grew up in our program. Blake is a great teacher and very loved by the children! They are fun, consistent with the kiddos, patient, playful, caring, and engaged. They especially love facilitating outside time, art projects, story time, and block play with the children. Blake's personal hobbies include swimming, bike riding, drawing, gaming, movies, and reading.
