Meet Our Team
Hello! I’m Penny, the owner of Growing Hearts. Since 2005, I’ve dedicated myself to providing quality childcare services. I enjoy spending my days with children, seeing their joy as they learn new things and build friendships. At Growing Hearts, we’ve created a warm, “feels like home” environment where children can flourish. Our passionate teachers take pride in their work, focusing on making each child feel confident and loved. I welcome you to visit our facility—I’d love to show you around.
Felicia
I’m Felicia; I hold an A.S. Degree from Solano College and have been working with children for over 15 years. I have always loved children, and being around them—they can put a smile on your face when you need it. Children need caring teachers who will value and nurture them as the important individuals they are. My goal is to lay a strong foundation, uplift them, and share the message that Jesus loves them. While this work isn’t always easy, it’s truly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be part of it.
Pegi
Hi, my name is Pegi. I have been married for 42 years, have two children, and have six grandchildren. I earned my associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education in 1995 and have been working in this field almost continuously since then. I have been with Growing Hearts since February 2018, and I am thrilled to be a part of the magic that happens here and am looking forward to being a part of their future endeavors.

Hi, I’m Candi. I’ve been passionate about early childhood education for nearly 30 years, and I love it. I’m currently working toward completing my B.A. in Early Childhood Education.

Jazmine
Hi! I’m Ms. Jazmine, the Art teacher for the children at Growing Hearts. I’m excited to work with you and get to know your child, supporting their journey to success. Children thrive when surrounded by caring and supportive adults, and I’m honored to be part of that experience!
Bernice
Hello everyone! My name is Teacher Bernice; I am a mother of four and knew from the beginning that children were my calling. What I love most about teaching is the profound impact we have on a child’s self-image each day. Creating a space where children feel free to be themselves and grow into who they’re meant to be is incredibly rewarding. I’m currently completing my degree in Child Development and am honored to be part of a community committed to loving and supporting our Growing Hearts families.
Shawn'te
Hello. My name is Shawn’te, and I have been working with kids for the past 9 ½ years, and I love it! I also have children of my own who attended when they were younger. I love being with the children here and supporting their growth. My goal is to prepare them for kindergarten and equip them with the skills they need to succeed. Thank you for the opportunity to work with your children.
Emily
Hi! I am Ms. Emily and I have been working with kids for 5 years now. I love being able to see the children learn and grow every day. It is so important for children to feel safe and cared for and I will always do my best to create positive experiences with them!
Sarah
Hello, my name is Sarah, and I’ve been caring for kids since I was a kid myself! I started babysitting when I was 11 and turned it into a career after completing my Early Childhood Education credits from Solano Community College. I spent a year and a half working in a preschool setting before becoming a full-time nanny for 13 years. I am excited to have transitioned back into working in a childcare facility! I love kids of all ages and enjoy helping foster their creativity and growth with other teachers who share the same passion.
Isabel
Hello! I’m Ms. Isabel, and I am thrilled to be your Transitional Kindergarten teacher! I have a deep passion for nurturing youngminds and fostering creativity through art, curriculum and hands-on learning experiences. I believe every child is an artist, and I strive to create an environment where self-expression and imagination can flourish! I cannot wait to meet you and your little ones! (:
