Welcome to Learning Lodge West
I want to start by saying thank you for the opportunity to share my vision of early care and education with you. It has been a long-time dream of mine to open an early childhood center. I am committed to providing families with an environment where children receive meaningful care and develop a life long love for learning.
I graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Marketing Management, but not long after working in marketing research did I missed pouring into the lives of children. I've had the opportunity to work on the administrative side of early childhood and elementary education programs for 13 years now. Currently, I'm finishing my Master’s in Early Childhood Education. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to own and operate Learning Lodge West.
As a mom of two boys, I know what a treasure children are! I want your children to be excited to come to school - to explore, play and enjoy learning - and for you to feel confident in the care and education they receive while you're away. Our building is intentionally set up to look more like a lodge-home and thus feel more comfortable. I want to highlight that I value a learning environment that incorporates character development, community service and social responsibility. And yes, I mean recycling to service projects. There is value in knowing how a vegetable grows, how to keep our community clean and what it looks like to show kindness even when it's hard.
My hope is that you can hear my passion for our youngest learners. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.
Jacinda
