Hi, I’m Jess , professional problem solver, kid-at-heart, and founder of Little Discoveries. I hold a BA in Early Education and Administration, plus all the credentials with fancy names (Child Development Associate, Director Credential… the works). Translation? I know my stuff when it comes to kids, classrooms, and the people who run them.

But here’s the fun part: I don’t stop at classrooms. In 2022 I opened We R Bananas Café, where we sling “healthy fast food” (yes, that’s a thing) to teach kids and families that good food can be fun. Proceeds go right back into Little Discoveries , because educators deserve better paychecks and kids deserve extra enrichment without the “broken industry” price tag.

And if that wasn’t enough bananas. 🍌 I also created The Play Shed, a whimsical DIY party and play space where families can celebrate, imagine, and make joyful messes (the good kind).

At the end of the day, I’m obsessed with solving problems, creating playful solutions, and mentoring my staff not just in teaching but in life. Oh, and I like my coffee strong, my ideas bold, and my goals bigger than the average to-do list.
