I’ve always been a natural nurturer. My younger brother and I are 12 years apart! So, I played a big role in his upbringing. However, through that, I learned that the best part of my day is watching children discover new skills and with that spark of joy and accomplishment you feel when they share their excitement with you, is the cherry on top.

I have been a qualified Early Childhood Educator since 2018 and through that time, I have worked with a variety of age groups enjoying each little quirk they have to offer! Watching each child grow and overcome challenges with my gentle guidance is my absolute favorite part of being a teacher 🥰

Outside of work, I have a 5 year old daughter and a 2 year old dog that constantly keep me on my toes! I enjoy reading, crafting, and writing. But most of all, I am so looking forward to this journey with you and your family at The Big Red Barn!

Hi, my name is Destanie. I am a dedicated infant teacher with 3 years of experience in early childhood development. My philosophy centers on providing a nurturing and responsive environment where infants feel secure and cherished, enabling them to confidently explore their world and develop essential skills. The goal is to observe and understand each baby’s unique cues, fostering their cognitive, social, and emotional growth through interactive play, sensory experiences, and gentle guidance. I love open communication with families to ensure a smooth and joyful experience for everyone is important. One of the many things I am excited for is to go on as many hiking trips this summer because it will be my first full summer in Colorado! I am excited to build long-lasting relationships with all of the families at The Little Red Barn.
