Teachers & Staff

Steph Barr
Hello my name is Stephanie and I was born and raised in Colorado. I have always known from a young age that I wanted to work with children and run a school. I have two nieces and one nephew who are my world. I started working in child care in 2006 as an Assistant Toddler Teacher but have worked with every age. I completed my Directors certificate in 2016 and received my Bachelors degree in Business Management in 2022. Now I get to help the teacher teach the children and build their confidence.
My favorite part of working with children is seeing the joy in the small things they accomplish. Everything to them is something huge and the best thing is when they master whatever skill they are working on.
