Meet Our Director, Chantelle Garcia
I’m Chantelle Garcia, and I’ve been in early childhood education since 2012. I started as an assistant teacher, worked as a lead teacher in the 2- and 3-year-old rooms, and became the assistant director at The Sunshine House in 2015. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and a Large Center Director Certification.
I love watching children grow, develop new skills, and gain confidence, while also working with families to create a consistent school and home environment.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 5 children, trying new foods, swimming, and doing crafts.
