Catalina Hills is a loving, positive, and engaging environment that encourages young children's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development.

Its quality whole child learning experience encourages children to grow, explore, experience, and learn. Low child-to-teacher ratios and small class sizes allow teachers quality time with each student. Catalina Hills provides a strong foundation for future academic success for every child. 

I graduated from Clemson University with a B.A. in Early Childhood Education. While raising my two sons, I earned a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Phoenix. I have over 12 years of experience as a preschool teacher and have taught kindergarten at Manzanita Elementary School.

My husband is a practicing dermatologist in the area, and my son Whit is a Sophomore at ASU and son Stu is a freshman at Baylor. I am very passionate about the education and happiness of all children! I have always been dedicated to bringing enthusiasm to the classroom, and that dedication will make Catalina Hills Preschool and Kindergarten the best early childhood learning center in Tucson.
