Laura Graham (she/her)
My passion for teaching led me to early childhood education where I value each child's individuality. As educators, we have a responsibility to honor and respect children. With over 20 years of experience in this field, I am proud to own my own preschool and promote values of kindness and inclusivity. Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors, traveling, and reading, and strive to continue learning and growing.

Delanie Nestor (she/her)
I have been working with children for 10 years. I started volunteering at Driftwood Elementary School in 2015 and became the before/aftercare teacher for the kindergarten group, while studying at Broward College for Early Childhood Education. I moved to Oregon in 2017 and finished my education at PCC for Early Childhood Education. I worked in before/aftercare in Bethany for 3 years, then moved to being a Montessori infant/toddler guide from 2020-2022 and moved to being a Waldorf teacher from 2022-2023. I graduated with my degree in Early Childhood Education with a Reggio Emilia Curriculum focus in June 2021. I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I have been living in Oregon since 2017. I live with my boyfriend Alexander and my bluetick coonhound Potato. In my free time I spend time with friends and family, visit my mom, read, and I love all kinds of music and television!
