Hello! My name is Cindy and I am mom to 4 boys ages 12-24. I owned and operated Just Imagine Preschool in Puyallup, Wa for 16 years. Just Imagine Preschool offered 2 classes for children ages 2-6, including Pre-k. I continually had a waiting list of at least 2 years and had a 100% rating of retained families. I retired in 2021 when my husbands job became remote and we made the choice to sell our home and travel full time with our youngest son. In our latest travels we visited Panama, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Peru, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Egypt, and Mexico just to name a few. We recently came back to the area and I decided I would like to do some work part time during our time here. In addition, I have extensive experience spanning 29 years working with children and teen groups as a youth Read more leader, camp director, activity chair volunteer in my community. I have extensive understanding, education and experience working with special needs, specifically ADHD & Autism. From 1992-2006 I was a nanny for multiple families and offered in-home nanny service for parents who needed childcare while they were out of town on vacation or business trips. I retired from doing this when I opened Just Imagine Preschool.
