With a true passion for Early Childhood Education, she brings years of hands-on experience and leadership to our team. Growing up in a big family—her dad is one of eleven and she has over 35 cousins—Casey was surrounded by children from a young age and always knew she wanted to work in the education industry. She began college in General Education, but quickly found her passion in Early Childhood and made the switch. Since 2016, she’s worked in childcare centers in just about every role, from Teacher to Director, and later as Director of Operations overseeing two centers. She’s also in the final stretch of completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education.

In addition to her leadership role, Casey has taken on a big part in implementing the Pyramid Model here at The Ark, supporting classrooms and staff in creating nurturing, supportive, and inclusive environments. She loves The Ark’s vision and is passionate about helping both children and staff succeed.
