Ms. Evelyn has always taken immense joy and satisfaction in teaching small children. Growing up in Louisiana, she became an aunt at a very young age and grew up helping to look after her nieces and nephew. After spending 9 years in office management, she began working in schools shortly after her two children began school. After teaching kindergarten enrichment for two years, she found her passion in preschool and spent the next four years teaching 4-year-old pre-kindergarten. Evelyn is overjoyed to have the opportunity to join Starting Blocks Preschool and help to provide a wonderful beginning to the children’s academic journey while also sharing the love of God.

Mrs. Stacey is so excited to be meeting lots of new friends at Starting Blocks Preschool. She has 11 years of childcare experience, with 6 years being exclusively in preschool. She enjoys working with this age group and finds their eagerness and excitement to learn and try new things to be a rewarding experience. Mrs. Stacey is a mother of two, and enjoys spending time with family and friends, and finding a quiet spot with a good book and coffee.

She has prior childcare experience, and has volunteered at Desert View Bible Church during 4 years of Vacation Bible School programs, and most recently in the kindergarten Sunday school classes. In her free time, Faith is an an all star cheerleader and has also coached gymnastics. She loves Jesus and is so excited to work in a Christian environment! 

My name is Ms. Rachel and I have always enjoyed taking care of kids, helping them learn and grow. My family moved to Arizona 10 years ago from California. My husband and I have 3 wonderful daughters, Madissen 12 , Lillian 10 & Gracelynn who is 2 .The things I enjoy doing outside of work are exploring, hiking, swimming, snow skiing and singing. I have been a volunteer soccer coach for my daughter’s soccer team for the past 5 years. I also received my Medical Assistant degree because of my passion is to always help others. I am very excited to be part of the Starting Blocks team and working with all your amazing kiddos 

My name is Jada and I am filled with excitement to be a member of Starting Blocks Preschool. I have always had a strong passion for childhood development. I believe having an impact on children’s lives is such a fulfilling journey that I am so happy to be apart of. The desire to work and grow alongside such amazing kiddos is immense and I cannot wait to join such a fantastic crew while doing so! 

I am currently pursuing my bachelors degree as I further my education. I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family. I also love bowling and am extremely competitive! 

My name is Ms. Katie and I am so excited to be joining such an amazing, open hearted, and faithful community at Starting Blocks Preschool. I have always loved working with children and I am so blessed and excited to be a part of helping these students grow academically. After nannying for 6 years, I wanted to do more, impacting young students in a school setting. The fulfillment of helping such amazing and bright kiddos while doing so in a faith based preschool is so very important to me. 

I am Ms. Roxanne, and I am a mother to three wonderful grown children and two amazing grandsons. My oldest grandson attended Starting Blocks and has since graduated, and the younger one currently attends! Ever since I was a child I always wanted to be a mom. My greatest accomplishment is becoming a mother and now a grandma. I spent my younger years working in the medical field as a medical assistant, but once my youngest who is now 20 years old started preschool, I joined a Montessori school where my children were attending. I became a paraprofessional working in the preschool program and also did admin work in the front office for a total of five years. After the Montessori school I started an in-home daycare four about three years! For the last seven years I have worked as a nanny for many wonderful families in the valley. When I'm not at work I love spending time with my family. I'm the youngest of five children so our house is always full of love, laughter and joy. 

I am married to my amazing husband (Chad the Dad) and blessed with 3 beautiful children  Lexi, Logan & Leah, and my wonderful bonus children Garrett & Zoe. My path has been a bit of a winding road and never did I think that my career would end up in early childhood education. I think my passion not only came from being a mom, but really having to put all my efforts into caring for my son Logan while he battled cancer, while still having to be a mother to my other children. Unfortunately, he lost his battle in 2022 at the age of 15. His compassion for children was like no other, and that’s what makes my passion for this job even stronger. I've learned to cherish the little things and enjoy every minute to the best that I can. 

Hola! I’m Ms. Karin and this is my sixth year teaching preschool. My passion for teaching started from a very young age. My family are devoted Christians and have always lived in Arizona. My husband and I have a son, two dogs and five Guinea Pigs. We enjoy the outdoors, hiking, biking and swimming. I’m so blessed to start this learning journey with your preschoolers and getting them ready for Kindergarten. Whether is literacy, science, phonics or music, I hope to spark your child’s interest in learning.
