About Me:
I grew up in Western New York, just a bit North of Niagara Falls. My husband, David, and I moved to Colorado in 2007 to pursue our graduate degrees at CU Boulder. In our spare time we love to cook, hike, play music, garden, and play with our 10-year-old Shiba Inu named Meegosh.
What I love about Early Childhood Education:
"Young children are naturally curious about everything. The wonder that they possess for life is contagious and inspiring. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing a child understand something or accomplish something for the first time. While I love teaching children new things, what I love the most about working with children is learning the lessons that they have to teach me."

Assistant Director and Integrated Arts- MIREILLE (MIMI) PASQUER
Degrees and Certifications:
Associates Degree in Early Childhood education: Monterey Penninsula College, Calif. 1994
Early Childhood Teacher Qualified
Methodologies and Approaches to Migration: Lausanne Switzerland, 2006
Teacher Certification in Kundalini Yoga and ChildPlay Yoga, 2011-12
Bachelors Degree in Sociology: Metropolitan State University, 2017
Prior Experience:
1992-2007: Early Childhood Educator in a variety of settings in the U.S.A. and Switzerland: afterschool care, emergency day care(( YWCA/ Children's Alley), Bilingual schools( french/english). Owner and Operator of the SilverPlume Studio in Vevey, Switzerland,(art and communication workshops. for young children and adults.)
About Me:
I grew up between California and Colorado, the daughter of pedagogues. My parents had founded the Denver International School in the late 70's and I was their student for all of my elementary years. As a teenager, my parents sent me to France and Argentina so I could experience different school settings, different cultures and languages. These experiences generated a thirst for travel and knowledge that has kept me on my toes for the past 25 years. Working with children is the natural outcome of these experiences.
Art has been a personal endeavor for me ever since I was 7, as a means to contemplate and understand my world. It is this deep and heartfelt passion which has led me to develop and encourage art making and understanding for young children. It is this motivation which enables me to promote art as a means for communication and peace.
What I love about Early Childhood Education:
Early Childhood is what keeps me close to my inner child. Natural curiosity, candor, unabashed questioning and a willingness to learn makes young children a pleasure and a wonder to work with. They are trustworthy partners in the adventures of learning. Creating an environment where they can explore and learn safely and with unconditional, positive regard is a challenge I welcome, as I am sure that it makes my world brighter and that it ensures that these children will have formidable tools to work with as they grow.

Star Kneitz- Teacher

First Aid & CPR Certification - 2018

EQIT Certification - 2016
Pyramid Plus Certification - 2016
Prior Experience:
Self Employed - House Manager (2017-2018)

Noah’s Ark Daycare - Infant Lead Teacher (2016)
- Ages 3-5 Assistant Teacher (2015-2016)
About Me:
My partner and I moved to Colorado about 3 years ago and our hearts found a home in Boulder. We have a fur-baby Rat Terrier named Spike and he is 21 years old. Some activities we enjoy doing are dancing, DIY spa days, baking, and being a fur-parents to Spike.
What I love about Early Childhood Education:
I feel that children are our biggest teachers. For me, it is an absolute joy to watch them play and grow. I am happy to guide them along the way but I never teach them as much about the world as they teach me. Their point of view is so unique and still each child’s view is so vastly different from one another. I am glad to learn every day from what they have to teach me.

Matthew Curl- Assistant Teacher
Degrees & Certificates:
Working towards a degree in English
Prior Experience
I have worked with children for 20 years, starting as a volunteer at my church as a teen. It was there that I fell in love with this field. I have been a camp counselor and director for a private summer camp in Superior. I worked with Preschool aged children for about 8 years in Superior as well. These past few years I was an after school director and worked for a dance company right here in Boulder.
About Me
I always find life to be lived by one simple word. LOVE! I live by this daily and want to make everyone smile and laugh. I love to spend my time reading, hiking, and find such joy in writing. I hope to be a writer someday living in my dream city- Paris, France. I also am an avid traveler and when I am not seen with a book in hand I am around learning about wine and food.
Why I love Early Childhood Education
I fell in love with Early Education when I was brought on to a team of wonderful ladies who I call family and it was there they instilled in me my engaged and attentive nature with children and actually all humans in general. I love that everyday is a new experience and I love watching them experience how cool science can be.
