B’s Teachers

We are so proud of our team of teachers.

We are all required to have first aid and CPR training as well as a whole list of classes to begin as  teacher in a Certified Family Child Care.  Every year we all complete at least 15 hours of Continuing Early Childhood Education.

Each of our teachers bring special talents & passions to share with the B’s Preschool community!

Ms. Bridget loves to garden, sometimes with the children – and often on evenings and weekends.

– Ms. Bridget –

I love teaching and feel that the preschool years are a particularly precious and important time for building a healthy foundation for children.

My mission is to provide a safe, nurturing home environment for children to begin their educational journey.  Teaching children how to communicate their feelings and needs, as well as how to work thru conflict is our goal. –

I am also a very proud Mama, as of 2023 my daughter Kayla is a Certified Respiratory Therapist at Seattle Children’s Hospital after graduating from Boise State University!

– Mr. Roger –

My journey began in 1996 when I decided to have my first child, Keyley.  As my love for children grew my partner and I decided to have four more, Mckinnley, Marius, Malijah and  Makiah!

After owning several businesses, my partner and I decided to open our own bilingual preschool, Casa Feliz! I was so excited to begin my journey as a father and teacher of preschool age children. It all started when McKinnley turned five! Casa Feliz was a very successful preschool for 14 years in the Southeast Mount Tabor neighborhood.

I began volunteering at my son’s school which led me into the path of coaching.  I coached a variety of sports for over 20 years and it was a delight. Working with children has taught me great things in life….Patience, patience, patience! I enjoy dancing and moving with the children inside and outside.

With my love of teaching young children, the Universe led me to where I am today as the bilingual Spanish teacher at B’s Preschool.

~ Ms. Cynthia ~

I love working with children.  I have been a preschool teacher assistant for the past three years and a nanny for five years before that.  I love helping children learn how to communicate, creating and making art with them, listening to their big feelings, playing outside and exploring the world around us.  I am a mama to three amazing kiddos ages 15, 12 & 9 who all are or were at Portland Village School.  When I was a child I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up.  I am so happy to have landed here at B’s Preschool!
