Picture
My name is Emily Olivas. I have been teaching preschool since 2008. My early childhood career began when I opened a home daycare in 2005. I cared for a wide age range of children and decided I wanted to focus my teaching to preschool. I went back to school and obtained my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education in 2007. I continued my education to obtain my B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Kendall College in Chicago. While working on my degree, I began teaching preschool for Head Start in Illinois. I worked with at-risk children and families for 6 years before moving to Colorado. I have been with Promise since 2014 and I truly believe this is where God intends me to be.  During our move, I worked with St. Vrain Valley Schools as a behavior specialist for their early childhood department and worked with preschool students in over 25 schools.  I am passionate about teaching and it shows in my work. I am an advocate for healthy eating and lifestyle in the early childhood years. I feel preschool is a place to develop social skills while also including academics to prepare my students for kindergarten and their future academic careers. I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ that has grown with the trials and joys of my adult life. I feel that the Christian faith provides a strong foundation for our students to become powerful and productive members of society.  I have been married to my husband, Oomar, since 2004 and have two awesomely crazy kids, Zoe and Kai.  I live in Longmont and love reading, gardening, woodworking and projects!  We attend Boulder Valley Christian Church.
