Aubrie Vandever - Head Infant Teacher

For the past 3 years, I’ve been working as our infant teacher, providing gentle care and support to our youngest learners. I love helping infants reach developmental milestones through play, routine, and lots of cuddles. My calm and caring nature helps every child feel comfortable and loved.

We are registered with the State of Montana as a child care facility. To ensure the safety of your child, all caregivers have had a background check, a Child Protective Services check and have been certified in CPR and First Aid. All caregivers stay current in the early care and education field by participating in at least 8 hours of additional training a year.
