Liberty Lake Children's Academy™

DEVELOPMENT & FUN!

Our goal for your child during the preschool years is to develop confidence in their physical, emotional, social, cognitive and language development. Their developmental abilities will be explored and developed through an environment and curriculum set up with child selected/teacher supported activities. This is done by setting up the classroom environment full of interesting and exciting activities that appeal to this age group with both quiet and active times throughout the preschool day. This includes having large group time, children’s ‘work’ time (child's choice), snack time, outdoor/active time, small group activities, more ‘work’ time and ending with a relaxing, calming group time (stretching, singing, story time, share time etc).

A message from Miss Teri, Director & Owner

Family is a child’s first home, and preschool is a joyful next step...offering a safe, playful place to explore, make friends, and grow. Together, parents and teachers create a loving team that helps each child feel secure, confident, and ready for all the adventures of learning ahead. 

I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Child Development/Family Relations with an emphasis in Child Life from the University of Idaho. I began my teaching journey over 40 years ago. At 17 I was a teacher's assistant in a preschool, found my passion, went to college for my degree, and opened a small preschool in my home in 2004 with a class of bright, curious 3 year olds. As interest grew, so did we...adding a Pre-K class and eventually, I founded Liberty Lake Children’s Academy in 2007 with a passion for creating an enriching, positive early learning experience for children. This fall marks 22 fabulous years in our community, a success made possible by our amazing families and dedicated teaching team. 

I have 3 adult children of my own...Valerie, Asia and Drake. They are the pure joys in my life. I am also lucky to be married to an incredible man, Greg, who supports me in so many ways. I couldn’t have done this adventure without him. 

I can’t wait to share in your child’s first steps into the wonderful world of learning as they grow, discover, and shine. Welcome to Liberty Lake Children’s Academy!
