OWNER

Hi, my name is Michelle. I started my day care journey right out of high school running afterschool care programs. I have worked with all ages at a nearby day care center where my love for working with children continued to grow. I completed my master’s degree in special education and elementary education in 2009 from Portland State University. I began my work here at Treehill in 2011 as an assistant director. I was given an amazing opportunity to buy Treehill and take over as owner in 2016. I am forever grateful for this opportunity. Not only do I love working with all the amazing kids and their families that come through our doors, I cherish the relationships I build with my staff just as much! Watching my teachers grow brings me as much joy as watching the kiddos grow!

When I am not at work, I am usually off camping in the dunes driving my side by side with my family and friends or camping and hiking up on Mt. Hood. I love all things outdoors! I have three amazing step kids who are adults now, an 11-year-old, 4-year-old and a pretty amazing husband too. We have two cats and one Great Dane. Our house is always busy!

I’ve been working in childcare since 2011 and have proudly called Treehill home since 2019.
I truly love working with children and supporting their social and emotional growth, especially here at Treehill. This center has become a second home for me and my family, and it means so much to be part of a place that cares so deeply about kids and their development.
I’m also a mom, and in my free time I enjoy being with my family, journaling, coloring, and spending time out in nature.
I’m so excited to meet new families and welcome you to join us as your children grow, learn, and thrive in a safe, healthy, and loving environment!
