About Us
Our Teachers
With an array of fun-filled activities, our preschool child development program focuses on building cognitive performance through child-initiated, cooperative play. Our teachers introduce these active and enthusiastic learners to a more structured curriculum and new academic concepts in language, literacy, mathematics, and science. Our staff have a commitment to continuous professional development in early childhood education. Many of them are attending school to work on degrees, and ALL staff are certified in CPR & First Aid.

My name is Loel Russell, and I have been at Grandma’s Touch Child Care Center for one year, working with the one-year-olds. I have ten years of working in the early childhood system. Since I have been working with one-year-olds, my favorite activities incorporate physical growth and development. The children become elated when they learn something new, and it fills my heart with joy how excited they are when we do new physical activities. My hobbies are reading and painting by numbers. I am the mother of two daughters, and I love being a grandmother watching my grandchildren go through different stages of development and explaining to their parents why they are doing what they are doing at the time. As I observe my babies daily in activities, it reminds me of this quote by Mark Van, which says, “The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.”
