About the Teacher
Owner: Tara Dudley, Bachelor of Science in Education
A.K.A: “Miss Tara”
I hold my bachelors degree in education with four years teaching
experience in the public school system.
I have also worked as a Lead Teacher in a local child care
center. My husband, Bret
and I have two children, ages two and one. My decision to own my own
child care home business comes from my desire to be with them and be
their primary teacher. Because
I still have a passion for teaching and working with other children
and I know the importance and benefits of my children being around
and learning with other children; owning my own child care home is
the best of both worlds.
I am not a babysitter. I
am a loving teacher and mother who will help your child reach
his/her fullest potential while at Tara’s Shining Stars Preschool.
Together we will explore, discover, and create.
We will complete art and craft projects where we will focus
on the process, not the product.
Each project we do will be planned to assist in the
development and refinement of skills.
My goal is to create a loving and nurturing environment where
your family can leave your child and know he/she is well cared for,
safe, loved and educated in the comfort of a home environment.
Every child is treated like I would want my own children
treated, cared for, and educated.

“Today
like millions of other Americans I went to work. I didn't design a
beautiful skyscraper or write a proposal to save an endangered
species. I didn't fly a plane or write a crucial bill that would
someday become a law. However, I did spend time with some very
important people. I read a story to an attorney and I sang the
alphabet song with a Supreme Court Justice. I ate lunch with a
pastor, and patted the back of an engineer until sleep set in. I
taught a policeman how to tie shoes and introduced an astronaut to
the color red. Tomorrow, who knows whom I'll meet, but one thing is
for sure...They will be very important, because they are our
precious children, and the hope of our very future.”
