Miss Danielle, owner and director
About Me
My name is Danielle. I live in Visalia, CA with my husband and four dogs. First and foremost, I am grateful to God for giving me this opportunity and setting the path that has brought me here; this is all for His glory.
I have worked with children for the past 12 years. I was a preschool teacher for two and a half years at a faith based preschool in Porterville, called Hoops Preschool. At that time, I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies. I was a substitute teacher for grades K-12 for a year as I finished schooling for my teaching credentials. In 2017, I student taught at Lombardi Elementary for grades 1 and 5. During that time, I also tutored students grades K-12 in the evenings. I then received my Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential as well as my Single Subjects Teaching Credential in Physical Education at the beginning of 2018. I proceeded to complete my Master’s Degree in Physical Education at the end of 2018.
Aside from my schooling background in education, I taught for Visalia Unified School District for 5 years. I began as a 3rd grade teacher, and spent 4 years as a physical education teacher for high school. I am also an adjunct professor for Fresno Pacific University. I helped in the nursery at Pipeline Church for about a year while teaching for VUSD. Spending more time with the little ones and having the opportunity to share God again with children was what helped lead me to this new chapter in my life as a preschool owner/teacher. I hope this all goes to show that I love helping people of all ages, and am especially excited to get back to helping little ones and reinstating God into my daily teaching.
Other things I love to do include spending time with my husband as well as friends and family, going to the beach, going to Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and playing with my fur babies (aka my dogs). I love playing sports, lifting weights, and challenging myself in different ways both physically and mentally. I am so excited to meet and serve new people in the valley, and I can’t wait to see where God leads me next!
Miss Claire, teacher
About Me
Hello, I am Claire. I was born and raised in Visalia, and I have had a love of teaching from a very young age. From teaching Bible classes at my church to babysitting for families, I have years of experience working with children of all ages. I studied child development at COS and completed the courses with a 4.0 grade average. My personal teaching philosophy includes ideas from a Montessori approach and supporting the autonomy of each child.
In my free time I like to play the piano, paint, and practice my ASL. I am so excited to be working at Loving Littles Preschool.
Miss Brianne, teacher
Hi! My name is Brianne. I’ve lived in Visalia my whole life and have three young kids. I am so excited to begin working at Loving Littles Preschool.
I attended college locally where I obtained my college certificates in both assistant and lead teaching for preschool age classrooms. I have worked with kids in many ways since I was 15. I have been a babysitter, a nanny for multiple families, a travel nanny, worked in multiple daycares and have been a substitute for local faith based preschools. I was also the manager of Jim Booth Swim school which allowed me to work hands on with both kids & adults teaching swim lessons. I managed this business for 10 years before becoming a stay at home mom.
I am highly involved in my church and have been for many years. I was a volunteer in the elementary classes for a few years before becoming a Sunday School teacher. Most recently I was a counselor at Hume Lake Christian camp which was an amazing experience.
In my spare time you’ll usually find me in my home gym. I also run a tshirt/mobile party business and I LOVE a good book! My own kiddos also keep me busy with their many activities.
Miss Luisa, teacher’s aide
Hello, my name is Luisa and I am so grateful and excited to be part of the Loving Littles Preschool family!
God has blessed me with a passion for working with children and their families, and I have been fortunate to spend more than 10 years doing what I love. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of helping children learn, grow, and discover the unique gifts and abilities God has given them.
One of my greatest joys is watching children build confidence, develop new skills, and experience the wonder of learning. I believe every child is fearfully and wonderfully made, and I strive to create a loving, nurturing environment where they feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
I also cherish the opportunity to partner with families as we support each child’s growth together.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends doing outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and fishing. I also enjoy some indoor activities like cooking.
I am truly thankful to be part of this amazing team and look forward to getting to know you and your little ones. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your child’s learning journey!
Love, Miss Luisa
Miss McKenna, teacher
About Me
Hi everyone!
My name is McKenna, and I’m so excited to be part of the Loving Littles Preschool team!
I live in Visalia, CA. I’ve had a heart for children for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe that God has guided me to where I’m meant to be—working with little ones and helping them grow.
I began my journey in Early Childhood Education locally and earned my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Development. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in many ways—nannying, teaching, and coaching—and every experience has strengthened my love for this field.
My favorite part of teaching? Watching kids grow and thrive! I love seeing their excitement as they learn new skills and explore the world around them.
When I’m not in the classroom, I’m usually spending time with family and friends, hanging out with my two adorable puppies, or traveling—most often to Disneyland or the beach!
I’m so grateful to be part of this amazing community and can’t wait to meet your tiny humans!
With love,
Miss McKenna
Miss Tiffany, teacher
About Me
Hello everyone! My name is Tiffany and I am so excited and grateful to be apart of this amazing family here at Loving Littles Preschool!
I’ve had a passion for working with children for as long as I can remember. Although I wasn’t always sure where my passion would lead me, God showed me the way to education and I couldn’t be more pleased. I have earned my Bachelor’s in Liberal Studies and originally planned to teach Kindergarten but after experiencing the atmosphere here at Loving Littles Preschool, I knew it was where I wanted to be.
From working as an Aide in classrooms and after school programs to substitute teaching, all have been such great experiences and have taught me so much about the education field. To be able to now work in Early Childhood Education, it is truly a blessing! Especially because I now have a front row seat in watching your amazing children learn and grow!
When I am not teaching I am typically at the gym, out in nature, traveling or spending time with my family, dog, and friends! I love to be active and make the most out of life!
To be apart of this community is such a blessing and I can’t wait to see what else God has planned! Thank you for allowing me to play a role in your child’s developmental journey!
Love,
Miss Tiffany

Miss Whitney, substitute teacher
About Me
Hi, my name is Whitney. I am so excited to be a substitute teacher at Loving Littles Preschool. Prior to subbing, I worked as a part time teacher for Loving Littles Preschool for a year and a half.
I am a Visalia native, now living in Tulare with my husband. I have been working in the preschool settings for over 9 years. I have worked with children in many capacities for over 20 years as a babysitter, live-in nanny, a volunteer for Sunday school classes, as well as a CASA volunteer.

Miss Madison, Teacher
Hi! My name is Madison and I am so excited to be a part of the Loving Littles Preschool family! Caring for and teaching young children has always been a passion of mine, and I feel incredibly grateful to spend my days helping little ones learn, grow, and discover the world around them.
I was born in Visalia, California, and family is truly at the center of my life. My husband and I have a wonderful one-year-old son who fills our days with laughter, adventure, and so much love.
I have been working in Early Childhood Education for over three years, most recently as a Teacher’s Assistant at Hoops Preschool in Porterville. I also hold a California Teacher Permit and will be earning my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education at the end of November of 2026.
I believe children learn best through play, curiosity, and meaningful, open-ended experiences. Every child is unique, and I strive to create a classroom where they feel safe, loved, and excited to learn each day. My hope is that every child who walks through our classroom doors knows they are valued, celebrated, and capable of amazing things.
I am so thankful to be part of the Loving Littles Preschool community and can’t wait to get to know your family. I look forward to sharing in your child’s growth, celebrating their milestones, and creating a joyful year full of learning, laughter, and special memories together!

Hi, my name is Gianna, and I am so excited and truly blessed to be apart of Loving Littles Preschool!
I have lived in Visalia for almost my entire life and have had a love and passion for working with children for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have volunteered at my local church, helping care for children from the nursery all the way through elementary school. After graduating from high school, I began nannying for several wonderful families. Soon after, I joined the Loving Littles Preschool team when the school first opened.
I had the privilege of working at Loving Littles for three years before taking a year off to focus on school. Now I am returning, and I couldn’t be happier to be back!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my puppy. I also love reading, going to the beach, and most of all going to Disneyland!
I am so excited to be part of this amazing school once again and can’t wait to meet all of the wonderful families and kiddos.
