Hello,

My name is Ms.Arlene.

I joined Kids Way in 2016 as the On-Site Coordinator/Director of Kids Way's school-age programs. I was the Director of a hospital-operated child care for ten years, the Owner/Director of my own child care and preschool for 22 years, and I've been a Director at Kids Way for the last six years. I hold an Infant & Toddler Special Certificate, a High Distinction Early Childhood Certificate, a High Distinction Early Childhood Administration Certificate, a Certification in After School Programs, and an AA Degree in Tech. Arts and Arts and Science, both of High Distinction. I love the joy-filled laughter of children and their delight in adventure and learning new things. I enjoy reading, growing and canning my own food, baking bread for the local food bank, salmon fishing, shrimping, and razor clam digging. I love the beach and long walks with my dog, Gunnar.

Hello, My name is Miss Samantha.

I have worked with children from infancy to school age since 2012. I started my education journey in 2014 and graduated in 2019 with an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education.I enjoy going to the beach and taking my dogs out on hikes. I love doing crafts, and art has always been one of my favorite activities with children!I have always enjoyed the sense of purpose I get while working with children and families. While helping children grow, develop, and contribute to their lives. Having spent many years working with children, I appreciate how each day is a unique adventure. Nothing matches the enthusiasm for life and eagerness to learn. As a teacher, I continue to learn and grow each day.
