Leadership

Dawn Payne

Director

Dawn has worked in Early Childhood Education for 20 years in every capacity, from preschool teacher to director. She and her husband share six children and a granddaughter. Watching children learn and families grow is her passion! As a working mom, she knows the challenges of work/life balance and appreciates how difficult it can be to fulfill multiple roles on a day-to-day basis. As an educational leader, Dawn has a strong desire to not only empower children with the confidence they need to succeed, but to also encourage parents as they navigate the crucial early years of development.

Jeannine Denny

Jeannine is an educator with a degree in Early Childhood Education from GCU and has worked in the public school system teaching community preschool. Jeannine also served as the Director of CityKids for CityView Church in Phoenix for 6 years, and in the Outreach department at CalvaryPHX, working closely with several WESD schools. She is married with three young children. Jeannine has a heart to see every child grow up within a safe community that sees them as valuable and cherished just the way they are.
