“I’ve been working in early childhood education for over 10 years, and I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else. I started out as a substitute teacher and quickly realized how much I loved being part of a child’s early learning journey. Over the years, I’ve worked my way into school leadership, where I’ve had the chance to support amazing teams, build strong school communities, and create spaces where kids feel safe, happy, and ready to learn.
What matters most to me is making sure every child feels seen and cared for, and that every teacher feels supported and appreciated. I’m also really passionate about helping other women in education grow into leadership—especially those who may not always see themselves that way at first.
At the end of the day, I just want to make a positive difference for the kids, families, and educators of Northstar Preschools at Clear Lake!”
Our approach blends the structure of intentional teaching with the creativity of play-based learning. We use the innovative “Learning Beyond Paper” curriculum, which emphasizes exploration, problem-solving, and real-world connection.
To support every child’s unique learning journey, our team uses a color-coded system to help identify students who may benefit from additional academic support — and tailor help where it’s needed most.
We intentionally maintain low student-to-teacher ratios. This ensures your child receives the individual attention they need to feel seen, understood, and supported, allowing them to thrive both academically and emotionally.
We offer a top-tier, academically accredited curriculum that fosters a genuine love of learning. Our focus is not on rote memorization but on developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and complex thought processes through hands-on, engaging activities.
Our strength is our staff. We are proud to have a team of dedicated and experienced educators, many of whom hold four-year degrees in early childhood education. They bring passion, expertise, and a nurturing touch to every classroom.
With a history spanning more than 20 years, we have earned the trust of generations of families in the Clear Lake area. We are deeply committed to our community and the children we serve.
Our private kindergarten program offers a top-notch educational foundation for your child. We provide an academically accredited curriculum that focuses on developing complex thought processes and applying information, rather than rote memorization. Our low student-to-teacher ratios ensure that your child receives the individualized attention they need to thrive.
Choosing the right preschool is a big decision—and with so many options, it can feel overwhelming. That’s why we created a free, easy-to-follow guide to help you confidently navigate the process.
