Meadowlands

I have been part of the Tender Care Learning Center family for 20 years. I started as a director at our Hampton location where I spent 18 years and took over the director’s position at our Meadowlands school in 2025. It has been such a privilege to watch so many children go through our program! I have meant so many amazing families and have made some wonderful connections along the way. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing how many of our students go on to remarkable success. Early education truly makes all the difference in the lives of young children. I have a BS in elementary education from Slippery Rock University of PA, as well as a Director’s Credential certificate. In my spare time you can find me reading, hiking, and spending time with my husband Ron and my two children Wesley and Zachary who are the light of my life.
