My career has been dedicated to creating the conditions that support the social and emotional development of children through quality child care, after school programs and summer camps.  I am eager to connect with families and become part of Red Caboose’s quintessentially Madison story while collaborating with our staff and community partners to write the next chapter.

Director Emeritus

I’m excited to join the Red Caboose Family! I’ve worked in Early Childhood Education for the past 11 years as a teacher.  I’m originally from Southern California and received my Bachelor of Science in Child Development from Fresno State. I’ve always been passionate about working with children, families, and colleagues who share that same passion. I believe in order to create a safe and fun space for children to flourish, staff must feel the same! This is the environment I hope to cultivate with

Margo and I had a wonderful time meeting Ashley and getting a tour of Red Caboose. It seems like a wonderful childcare center with dedicated staff and a very organized and constructive curriculum. I hope Margo can attend someday
