Taylor: Lead Teacher/Manager

Hello! I'm Taylor, and I am thrilled to be a part of the team at Campus Childcare! Growing up in the scenic surroundings of Grants Pass, Oregon has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the outdoors, which I'm eager to share with the children here. Exploring nature, trying new foods, and embarking on adventures are some of my favorite pastimes, and I can't wait to bring that sense of excite- ment into our childcare environment.

My journey with childcare began early, as I've spent years babysitting and volunteering at daycares and schools. It's been a joy to witness the growth and development of young minds, and I'm grateful that I can now call it my profession. In addition to my role here at Campus Childcare, I also have the privilege of teach- ing swimming lessons at Club NorthWest to children ages 3-11. Beyond just improving their swim techniques, I focus on instilling confidence in the water and practicing essential water safety skills.

One of the things I love most about working with children is the opportunity to learn from them as much as I teach. Each child brings a unique personality and perspective, making every day a new and exciting adventure. Their creativity, curiosity, and resilience never cease to amaze me. Simply put, kids are the coolest people around!

In my free time, I cherish moments with my significant other and our beloved dog, who has been a part of our family for 16 wonderful years. But I'm always eager to return to the childcare setting, where I can continue to nurture young minds and hearts. I'm looking forward to meeting new faces, caring for more children, and embarking on this fulfilling journey at Campus Childcare!

I take great joy in celebrating each child's unique individuality and personality, as it's a privilege to be part of their journey and serve as a positive role model. While I'm dedicated to providing exceptional childcare, I'm also focused on advancing my education in nursing, currently completing my prerequisites. This dual pursuit not only enhances my ability to care for children but also underscores my commitment to their well-being and development.

Olivia: : Assistant Teacher

Hello! I’m Olivia Catlett, and I’m so excited to be part of the Campus Childcare family. I moved to Grants Pass from California, and I’m grateful to bring my love for early childhood education to such a welcoming community.

My passion for working with children began early, I completed all of my Early Childhood Education classes in high school and have spent years gaining hands-on experience through teaching swim lessons, volunteering in church small groups, helping in preschools, and babysitting. These experiences, along with becoming a mom to my sweet almost-one-year-old daughter, have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of celebrating each child’s unique personality.

Before entering the childcare field full-time, I attended cosmetology school and worked in a salon, where I learned creativity, attention to detail, and how to build meaningful connections with people of all ages.

In my free time, I love doing nails, creating art, spending time outdoors, and relaxing with my family and friends. Being a mom has strengthened my passion for supporting young learners, and it brings me so much joy to watch children discover new things, grow in confidence, and learn through play.

Heaven: Assistant Teacher

Hi! My name is Heaven Mosley, and I’m truly honored and grateful to be part of the Campus Childcare team. Caring for others has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember, so working with children feels like home. There’s something incredibly special about being trusted with little hearts and growing minds, and I don’t take that lightly.

What brings me so much joy is watching the children discover who they are and celebrating their milestones. What I love most about working with children is that no two minds are the same. Each child brings their own unique way of thinking, learning, and problem solving and I’m so grateful to support them as they navigate through challenges and celebrate their success during their time at Campus and I am so appreciative of the time I get to support them, encourage them, and cheer them on as they learn and grow.

When I’m not at Campus, I love being outdoors, hiking and camping help me recharge. I’m also a creative at heart, whether I’m painting, making jewelry, or experimenting in the kitchen with cooking and baking.

Some of my core values are integrity, inclusion, generosity, and compassion, and I strive to bring those values into everything I do. My goal at Campus Childcare is to create a safe, loving environment where every child feels seen, heard, understood, and deeply valued because every child deserves to feel that kind of care.
