Meet Our Teachers

Hello, and welcome! My name is Haleigh, and I am the owner of Honey Bee's Early Learning Center. I have been an Englewood local for 25 years! Before opening Honey Bee's ELC, I spent nearly 10 years working in various school settings with children of all ages. I hold a Child Care Director's Credential, as well as a CDA (child development associate) certification. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Isla, and my dogs, Bailey and Rhett, as well as baking and traveling. 

Hello! My name is Alyssa, and I am the Director and Lead VPK teacher here at Honey Bee's Early Learning Center. I have been working with children in our local community for 13 years! I started my journey working with two year olds, and have since gained experience with all age groups. I hold both a Directors Credential and a FCCPC (Florida Child Care Professional Credential). I believe working with children is my calling, and have wanted to be a teacher since childhood. In my free time, I enjoy needlepointing, thrifting and playing with my two dogs, Wrangler and Henley.  

Hi I'm Mandy! My previous career experience includes leading a successful remedial reading program targeting Kindergarten through fourth grade students. I'm especially passionate about children's literacy. I have taught for the last decade in Englewood, FL. Prior to my long held education position, I led children's and adult programs for health, fitness, and aquatics. I'm a junior at University of Florida studying Education Sciences, specializing in Education Technology. My hobbies outside of education include boating, fishing, sailing, gardening, cooking, reading, the arts, and spending time with friends and family. I am a wife and mother to Maren and Charlie.  

Hi my name is Ali, I grew up in Englewood and have always had a passion for education and helping young minds grow. I'm currently pursuing my degree to become a teacher and have been working as a lead teacher for two-year-olds. With hands-on experience and a deep love for early childhood education, I'm committed to creating a nurturing and engaging learning environment for every child I work with.

My name is Faith and I chose to work in the child care field because caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I come from a big family and have been surrounded by kids for as long as I can remember, so helping care for little ones has always felt familiar and meaningful to me. I love the honesty, curiosity and joy that babies and young children bring into each day! Outside of work I love reading, baking and spending time on the water boating and jet skiing. 

Hello! My name is Hope and I am proud to be from Georiga. I'm a dedicated teacher and a proud mom of three wonderful children - one boy and two girls. My love for children extends beyond my own family and into my classroom, where I strive to create a safe, encouraging and fun learning environment. When I'm not teaching, you can usually find me enjoying the outdoors. I love spending time outside, exploring nature and making memories with my family. I'm excited to inspire, support and grow alongside my students this year!
