Our Pre-K Facilitator is Miss Jennifer.
I grew up in the small town of Black Diamond, WA in a cabin on a little lake in the woods and ran around making forts, swimming and playing outside. When we weren’t riding bikes and making forts my Mom loved teaching us about music, art, and the world outside of town. We learned to make stained glass windows, toured every museum in the Seattle area, and many nights she’d play piano for us until we fell asleep with the woodstove burning just outside our bedrooms. She genuinely loved spending time with us and to share her interests.
I graduated from Enumclaw High School and went on to Washington State University in Pullman where I got my Bachelors in Business. I worked years in large companies such as Boeing, PACCAR (umbrella company for Kenworth and Peterbilt), and KeyTronic here in Spokane. I met my sweetheart in college and we have been married 14 years now. He is also a teacher and has been an educator at North Central High School for 12 years now. We have 4 sweet, loud and wonderful kids! Claire is 11, Alex is 9, Charlie 6, and Oliver who will be in preschool at NW is 3!
Outside of teaching I am working on my Masters degree in Education. I am a Girl Scout leader to 28 scouts (1st – 6th grade). I love painting, especially with oils and wish there were more hours in the day to paint! I love spending time with family and friends. I love to travel. I love camping and hiking and the smell of the woods, especially evergreens. I love living in the Northwest and I especially love working with kids!!

Hello, my name is Cami Shears. I have always had a passion for children and look forward to the opportunity to work with the whole family. I believe in the philosophy that the parent is the child's first teacher and that an involved parent will help grow a successful learner.
I studied at Lewis Clark State College in Lewiston, ID. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. I have worked with the Early Childhood Program (Head Start) and in professional daycare facilities.
Along with my professional schooling, I am married and have three wonderful children that provide me with much "real life" child development experience. Our boys, Reece and Riley, are 11 and 8 years old and our daughter Kennedy is 4. It is an enormous blessing that Kennedy will be able to attend the co-op with me. I will work to make this new chapter in our lives a successful transition for everyone.
I am thrilled to be a part of the special group of children, parents and staff. I look forward to growing a relationship with each of you! Thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself. See you at Co-op!
