Young Toddler I Classroom

Who is in the YTI Room?

Miss Erin

Most of you know me already, but for those or you who don't - welcome to the YTI room! I have been around kids almost my entire life. I grew up being the oldest of three girls. In my household babysitting was inevitable. If I was not looking after my younger sisters or neighbors, then I was volunteering at my church to help in their preschool or nursery programs. I started at The Children's Garden over 6 years ago and I have worked in the Infant, Preschool, Pre-K, and now Young Toddler programs. I received my CDA (Child Development Associate) this past year. In my spare time I like to go camping, work around my house, and lately most of my free time is planning for my September wedding! I am very excited to have most of you back and also to see some new faces! It's going to be a very exciting year!

Miss Lizzie

I graduated from Baptist Bible College in 2002 with an associates degree in business. I moved down here in 2004 and began working at The Children's Garden. I worked for 4 years and then needed a little change. I worked for an investment advisor for 2 years and realized it was not what I wanted to do. So I came back here in April and am going to HACC for Elementary Education. In my spare time I like to play volleyball, paint and just hang out with my friends and family. I am very excited to be working with your child.
