Director / Teacher - Joie
Hello Families,
Welcome to Creative Valley Child Care! I’m Joie, and I’m honored to be part of your child’s early learning journey. Working with young children has been my passion for as long as I can remember, their curiosity, creativity, and joy for learning inspire me every day. I find it incredibly rewarding to watch children explore new ideas, build confidence, and express themselves in their own unique ways.
With over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve worked with children across different age groups and program settings, supporting their growth through each stage of early learning. My approach is rooted in creating an environment that feels warm, engaging, and developmentally rich, where children can learn through hands-on exploration, collaboration, and discovery.
I look forward to welcoming your family to Creative Valley, where children are supported to grow, explore, and discover their love for learning.
