I am passionate about how high-quality child care impacts a child and a family forever. All children deserve the care, education, and nurturing of expert early childhood educators.
Jennifer and her husband are both UCLA Bruins and enjoy attending basketball, football, and volleyball games to cheer on their alma mater. Her creative outlet is scrapbooking the old-fashioned way with real photos, and her children each have 8 albums chronicling their lives. Jennifer and her husband plan to have travel adventures once they become empty-nesters.
