Our Staff

Tassy Wheeler

Director

I have been in the Preschool world now for 7 years! God called me to become a teacher 7 years ago and I have never looked back. God has continued to provide opportunities and placed me in the position to own and direct The Journey Kids Preschool.

I have been married for 11 years and we have 3 children, ages 10, 8, and 7. They are my world!

I strive to have a fun school where the children want to come, learn, and explore. I strongly believe in open communication and working together as a team. Children will flourish when parents, teachers, and staff all collectively work together for their growth and development.

Angela Rosalez

4/5 year old Teacher

I am excited to join the Journey Kids Preschool staff and provide a nurturing environment to help prepare your children for Kindergarten. I have over ten years of experience in daycares and preschools working with children of all backgrounds and abilities and am currently earning my degree in Early Childhood Education. With a planet-friendly approach, I will share my love of growing plants with your children as all included grow our roots of self-reliance and resilience. I am passionate about fostering a love for learning and am proud of the many avid readers and library lovers coming out of my classrooms. I look forward to growing with you all!

Selena Aleman

2/3 year old Teacher

I am so excited to be a part of the Journey Kids team! I have had the pleasure of working with many different types of children in a variety of settings. With an educational background in Recreational Therapy, I am passionate about making learning fun! I aim to make each day exciting, while providing opportunities for the children to challenge themselves and develop new skills. I also value the importance of teaching social-emotional skills, as I think it is vital that children develop these at a young age.

I believe that given the tools and resources, all children have the ability and the right to succeed and flourish in life. I will strive to foster a safe learning environment where every child feels supported in their journey. I look forward to having a wonderful school year!
