Hello, I am so excited to officially introduce myself as Little Forest School’s first Childcare Director! My name is Amanda Snow, and I have 12 years of experience in early childhood education, with nine of those years spent in Head Start. I have a deep passion for nurturing young minds, and am committed to providing a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for all children in our care.
A bit about my background: I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Integrative Leadership Studies with emphasis in Nonprofit Leadership and Human Development, and my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I hold an Administrative Credential through the Wisconsin Registry. In addition to that I have a Capstone Certificate in Infant Early Childhood and Family Mental Health through UW-Madison. The last two years of my career were spent working in an administrative role at my husband’s family’s business. I have successfully led childcare programs that focus on both educational development and emotional well-being. My leadership style emphasizes open communication, collaboration with families, and fostering a positive learning environment.
On a personal level, I have been married to the love of my life, Mark for the last seven years, and we have two beautiful children, Henry age 5, and Allison age 3. We both grew up in the area our entire lives and enjoy all the Northwoods has to offer. Waterfalling, hiking, boating, snowshoeing and fishing are just some of the things we enjoy doing as a family outdoors.
I could not be more excited for the opportunity to lead the Northwood’s newest childcare center, and I am eager to connect with families and collaborate with our dedicated team to support the growth and development of our children. I encourage you to reach out, introduce yourself, and share any thoughts or questions you may have. I am passionate about providing quality childcare to our Northwoods communities and I am confident I will make a positive impact. I look forward to a wonderful journey ahead with all of you.
