Cassie
Hello, my name is Cassie, and I am the owner of Evergreen Learning Center. Working in the childcare industry has always been my passion and something that I absolutely love doing. Straight out of high school I became a preschool teacher and continued that path for the next ten years followed by two and a half years as a nanny. In 2021 I decided to take the next step in my journey and open my own center. I am so excited for this new venture and will strive to be the best that I can be. Thank you all so much for joining our Evergreen family and entrusting my staff and I to care for your babies every day.

Betsy
Welcome Amazing Infant Families! My name is Betsy, I’m a local mom of a 10-year son and a 7-year-old daughter. I believe strong communities are built from the ground up and am so happy to see that those connections are already happening in our classroom. I’ll be working diligently every day to meet the physical, social, and emotional needs of your children. I especially enjoy working with infants as so many milestones happen within the first year. We’ll be practicing basic sign language, reading lots of books, dancing to jazz, playing with age-appropriate toys to build fine motor skills, making friends, and having fun!
Mara
Hello! My name is Mara Young.
A little about me…I was born in the PNW and grew up in Olympia, WA. I’ve lived in West Seattle for the last 14 years, and have loved being a part of this community, it is my home. I was a florist for 4 ½ years before I began my journey working with children as a Paraprofessional Instructional Assistant with Seattle Public Schools for 8 years. I worked with children in preschool up to 5th grade, and it was a joy being with students from so many grade levels. I’m excited for this new chapter working with kiddos in their early years now with ELC! It has been incredible to see how much they learn and grow so quickly, and I’m looking forward to witnessing more of this magic and learning from them and my team. Things I love most in this world…making memories with family & friends, being with animals and nature, tending to my plants, working in the garden, roaming a nursery with a yummy coffee, watching movies and shows, reading fiction books, writing, quiet walks, traveling, and taking care of my home. I am so grateful to be joining the ELC Community! Thank you! 😊

Emma
Hello all, my name is Emma! My journey working with children began in 2016, volunteering with a nonprofit organization that provides daycare and counseling for at-risk youth. This experience changed my life and because of it, I wanted to continue working with children of all ages and backgrounds. I’m a recent graduate of Seattle University with a double major in humanities and criminal justice-forensic psychology. My goal is to one day work in child mental health and help the youth in our society who are often overlooked. I have worked with children as young as two and as old as fourteen. I’ve worked in after-school programs, I’ve been a summer camp counselor, and I’ve worked in private and public schools as both a teacher’s assistant and tutor. My favorite aspect of working with children is watching them grow mentally and aiding them with various problem-solving and coping skills. I look forward to providing and facilitating an inclusive, fun environment for your children here at E.L.C.!
