About Us

Our method of teaching is based not only on the natural learning process of each child, but with lots of hands-on learning. We believe every child learn at a different pace which is why we keep our classrooms small so that each child can get that one-on-one attention with their teachers.
We believe every child can master every task that is presented to them. Our teachers reinforce learning as a positive experience. We believe that success develops the child’s self-confidence and self-esteem. With the love and passion, Fresh Start have for our children, we are dedicated to the highest quality and care, making an ever-lasting mark on the children we serve as always, one student, one teacher, one community at a time.

Philosophy
• No two children learn the same way or at the same speed.
• All children should be encouraged to learn at their own rate
- Children learn best when learning is fun.
- Parents are the first and most important teachers.
- Parents should be involved and a part of the Fresh Start learning experience.
- Parents take pride in their child’s accomplishments and encourage them in their challenges.
- Children can retain more when teachers and parents work as a team to encourage and guide their development.
- Today’s children are tomorrow’s best hope for the future.
Teaching Team
Ms. Wendy
I am the Infant Teacher. Working with infants is such a joy. I love the fact that they can learn. Does not matter how old they are, still teach them daily, and soon they will start to show you the teacher that they have been listening the whole time. They are like sponges. The early years are very important in a child’s life, which is why I am so glad and honored I get to share that learning experience with them as they blossom into toddlers.
Ms.Traci
I am the Toddler Teacher. I started working with children since the age of 17 years old. I have been in the childcare industry for 10 years thus far. I love working with children because they have their own challenges, and I love to assist with hose challenges that they may face. I love the fact they are all unique in their own way, and they all learn on different levels at different times. They are their own little person.
Ms. Dora
I am the Pre-K Teacher. I been working in the childcare industry for 23 years all together. My love for kids I love to play with them and give big, huge hugs all the time. I enjoy working with all age groups, but Pre - K is my passion because they are getting prepared for kindergarten. I love teaching them the word wall every morning in English and Spanish.
