Director:Emily Olivias
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.
Teacher: Amy Hines
Hi Ya’ll! I’m Amy Hines and as you can guess I’m from the south. I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi and graduated from Mississippi State with a degree in Early Childhood Development. I met my husband in high school and we married soon after graduating college. I started teaching pre-school after college but was unexpectedly blessed with our oldest son and took a 9-year reprieve as we started a family. We have 3 amazing kids with my oldest son attending the University of Arkansas. My younger son is at North Oklahoma College playing baseball and my daughter is a sophomore at Ralston Valley High school. We have been blessed with the opportunity to explore and live in a variety of different places spending time in New Mexico, south Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and now Colorado. I have taught pre-school for the last 15 years and love having the opportunity to spend time creating exciting adventures for children during such an inquisitive time in their lives. My family and I spend time in the mountains hiking, camping, and attempting to fish. I enjoy exercising, walking my 2 dogs and being part of a local BSF. I’m so excited to be a part of Promise Christian Preschool, making new friends, and having the opportunity to spend time with
your children.
your children.
Sarah Dayhoff- Teacher
Hello! My name is Sarah Dayhoff! I began my education career my senior year of high school when I began to work at my local Kindercare in Minnesota. I worked there throughout college. I attended University of Northern Colorado where I received my B.A. in Elementary Education. I met my husband there and we were married in 2009. After graduation, I started teaching for the Thompson School District where I worked for 5 years as a Kindergarten Teacher, 1st Grade Teacher and Literacy Specialist. During this time, I went back to school and received my M.S. in Literacy from the University of New England. When my first daughter was born, I took a job closer to home and taught for Boulder Valley School District for the next 3 years as a Literacy Specialist and Kindergarten Teacher. We decided to add to our family, so I took a break from teaching and stayed home for the next 6 years raising our 2 daughters- our oldest is now in 4th grade and our youngest just started Kindergarten. While I was home with my girls, I kept busy doing preschool activities with them at home, watching other kids, attending my local MOPS group throught Ascent Community Church, and working for the Kids Day Out Program as Ascent and volunteering in Children's Ministry there. In our free time, our family loves to ski, go the mountains, watch movies, play at the park, garden, read, bake and go to the beach! I am super excited to join the Promise family!
