Our Head of School

Sandra Milleson

I bring more than 30 years of experience in childcare and a lifelong passion for nurturing children as they grow into their fullest potential. My strong local roots, combined with warmth, dedication, and creativity, guide everything I do. I’m also an active member of my church, the Women’s Hiking Club, and the Over 50 Club, where I enjoy building connections and contributing to my community.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors hiking and camping. I also enjoy karaoke, singing, and playing music, as well as relaxing with a good book. Although I don’t have children of my own, I cherish the opportunity to support and guide the children in my care as if they were family. As the youngest of seven siblings, I know firsthand the importance of strong family bonds, and I bring that perspective into my work each day.
