Meet the Executive Director

"I’ve wanted to run a day care or preschool since I was 4 years old." 

"I love directing a center where parents feel good about leaving their children while they go to class or work. We have an open-door policy, and parents can also download an app where they can view photos and videos from the classroom that are posted daily."

Inclusive Preschool Classroom Opening on Campus in Partnership with Summit Center

Buffalo State University and the Summit Center—a leading provider of behavioral health and autism services—are collaborating to create an inclusive full-day preschool classroom for 16 students that will open on the Buffalo State campus in January. The integrated classroom will serve children with and without disabilities in the same space, addressing a shortage of inclusive preschool programs in Erie County and the city of Buffalo.
