HOME - BASED PRESCHOOL
Where curiosity takes root, one adventure at a time
Holistic, exploration-based preschool, with a Montessori approach, for children aged 3-5, led by a teacher with 20+ years of experience.
Hi, Im Ms. Jessica
Owner of Treasure Mountain
I have over 20 years of experience teaching young children. I studied Child Development at Grand Rapids Community College and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I lived in Alaska for 22 years, where I homeschooled my four children. They're all grown now, and I recently became a grandma for the first time. 😁
I have a passion for helping young children learn, and I love to incorporate art, music, and nature. I use a holistic curriculum with Montessori-influenced components using an exploration-based approach. My preschool program (ages 3-5) balances structure with creative freedom. Children build real skills in reading, writing, and math, along with manners and independence, all through joyful, hands-on play.
I enroll classes of 6 at a time, allowing each child to get focused attention, and build close friendships.
I treat all the children in my care like family. We just completed another successful year of learning together.
Please reach out if you'd like to know more about me or my program, or if you'd like to schedule a tour.

Ms. Jessica is such a treasure. Our son has been under her care since he was 8 months old (he's now 4), and he's thrived under her love and guidance ever since.
She balances structure with creative freedom through a play-led, Montessori-influenced approach, and has taught him manners, reading, writing, cooking, crafts, sports, and bathroom independence. She also partners closely with us as parents, reinforcing what we're working on at home in the classroom, and sending daily updates and pictures so we always feel connected to his day.
Watching him grow into a confident, curious 4-year-old has been such a gift, and so much of that is thanks to her patience and genuine care. We can't recommend her enough!
We love Ms Jessica!
