Miss Stacey has been with Seattle Learning Center since 2017 as the Multi Site Operations Manager. She has worked in childcare for over 10 years and we are just so lucky to have her here at SLC!

1. Why did you choose to work with preschoolers?

They are just so fun! I love having conversations with them, being silly with them and watching them grow by leaps and bounds everyday! It is really special!

2. What was your favorite thing about growing up on the East Coast?

D.C is a great place to grow up! There is something magical about the fall on the East Coast and I loved being able to take advantage of all D.C had to offer- all its history and the Smithsonian museums in particular 🙂

3. What is your favorite thing about the Pacific Northwest?

So much! I love being close to my brother and his family. I love all the beauty, greenness, and coffee! I really love and appreciate the friendly and kind people!

4. What is your go to food craving?

It’s so hard to choose! I guess I would say mac and cheese!

5. Tell us about your weekly recipe resolution of 2020 🙂

I never really learned how to cook or felt skilled in the kitchen and really wanted to change that so for this year I have been alternating between baking or cooking something new every week! I have found that I have really enjoyed baking in particular and gained a lot more confidence and have really surprised myself! Salted Peanut Butter Cookies are up this week 🙂

6. What is your favorite season and why?

While I don’t like that the sun goes down earlier, I really love fall! I love that it has the perfect balance of not being too hot or too cold , starting a new school year, the food and drinks and nothing beats the changing leaves on trees 🙂

7. Favorite moment in teaching so far?

Its not necessarily a moment but I just love all the relationships I have been able to form while teaching with students, staff, and families throughout the years. I love that every day is new and exciting and fun! I love teaching the students and staff and learning from them in return!

8. What kind of music do you most enjoy listening to?

I have a pretty eclectic taste – hip hop, pop, and rock are probably what I listen to the most often but every now and then I will throw some country in there 🙂

9. What has been your favorite country to travel to?

In the summer of 2019 I had the chance to visit South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana and it was the trip of a lifetime a piece of my heart will always be there!

I am absolutely in love with Elephants and while I wouldn’t want to take any out of the wild that would have to be my choice!
