Who's The Teacher?
Bailee is the teacher at Lonaz. She is the Owner of Lonaz Makerspace, but first she was an educator. With a background in Early Childhood Development, Bailee has a wide range of experiences in education. From teaching kindergarten at a charter school, working in a multidisciplinary clinical setting with neurodivergent children, to opening a nature based preschool program. As a 5th generation educator, teaching is in her blood.
Our Vision
Playschool at Lonaz is a partnership between the teacher and the family.
Playschool at Lonaz is a unique opportunity for parents to stay involved with their child. Parents stay on site during Playschool, this provides the opportunity for parents be engaged and aware of exactly what goes on in the classroom.
Our cozy art cafe space, equipped with comfy seating, a baby play space, free coffee, local treats, and a moment of peace, is just across the hall from the classroom/studio space. Our outdoor classroom is visible from the front windows of the cafe. This means you get to drink your coffee while it's hot, but also know that your child is safe and cared for.
We will meet twice weekly, on Monday and Wednesday from 9am-12pm.
