Passion for Early Childhood Education
At Tiny Skholars Akademy, our teachers have a deep passion for shaping young minds. They are excited about fostering a love for learning and creating an engaging environment that sparks curiosity in every child. This passion translates into an energetic, enthusiastic, and creative approach to teaching that makes each day a fun learning experience.
What Makes Us Unique?
Compassion and Empathy
Our teachers understand that each child comes with their own experiences and emotions. With compassion and empathy, they create a supportive environment where every child feels heard, understood, and valued.
Respect for Diversity
Our teachers respect and honor the diverse backgrounds, cultures, and abilities of each child. By fostering an inclusive environment, they teach children to appreciate differences and to grow in a world that values diversity and mutual respect.
Collaboration and Teamwork
Our teachers collaborate with each other, parents, and the community to ensure that children’s needs are met holistically. They share ideas, resources, and strategies to create a cohesive, supportive learning environment where every child can thrive.
Commitment to Safety and Well-being
Teachers at Tiny Skholars Akademy prioritize the physical and emotional safety of every child. They are trained to recognize potential risks and take proactive steps to create a safe environment.

Stephanie VanBuren
My passion for working with children began early, volunteering in my church nursery and local daycares. By 19, I was working professionally with children, and in 2011, I opened my first in-home childcare facility. As a proud mother of four, I understand the importance of creating safe, loving, and educational environments for children of all abilities.
I returned to school to pursue my degree in Early Childhood Education and discovered a deeper calling — working with children with special needs. Supporting, teaching, and advocating for children with diverse abilities has become one of the most meaningful parts of my work.
Along with my love for education and reading, I am a new children’s book author, creating stories that inspire confidence and imagination in young readers. I’m also an aspiring children’s TV educator and content creator, developing fun, educational videos to reach and empower little learners everywhere.
The journey ahead excites me — and I plan to continue impacting little minds and special hearts for many years to come.
