I was born and raised right here in Junction City, Kansas. My husband, Billy and I have been married for 25 years. We have 3 daughters. Haley 22, Lexi 17, and Kylie 7. We also have one granddaughter, her name is Emily. We have a large extended family and we love spending time together. Most weekends you can find us together playing music, singing, or just enjoying each other’s company.  I've been caring for children for as long as I can remember. It’s what God made me to do. Being hired as director of Immanuel Lutheran Early Childhood Center has been a beautiful blessing. I get to combine two of my favorite things… teaching children and sharing God’s love!

Families should consider ILECC for their child because we have the some of the best staff around.  We have an enthusiastic team that teaches the whole child. Children will learn more than just academics here! They will learn to know and love God. Children learn to take care of themselves and others. ILECC promotes social and emotional development. We nurture a child’s curiosity and help develop motor skills. Teachers promote language and cognitive skills. Our program boosts pre-math and literacy skills. ILECC is the place to be and we welcome you!
