How I can help You
I'm passionate about all things in the early years. I began my journey in early childhood education at nineteen, teaching two-year-old’s. Four years later, I set out to create a preschool that would provide the perfect balance between play and learning, and Loving Start Learning Center was born. I've opened eight locations along the way serving multiple communities in Northern California.
I'm a very proud mom, and I find so much joy watching my adult kids fly and walk confidently on their own life path. With almost thirty years of experience, I'm excited to help others reach their full potential as an early childhood development educator. Aside from running my business I love to travel with the love of my life my husband Seth. My goal now in this second half of my life is to hopefully come along side you, inspire, encourage you and help bring the passion back to these magical years through proper guidance in early childhood education.

"As a parent, I always felt safe and comfortable leaving my son in a warm, loving, welcoming environment. Amber and her staff treat the children like their own. Several years later, I joined the Smart Start team and began working as a Director for the center. The curriculum and proven philosophy are unique and well-rounded serving multiple needs of students in the community. Smart Start has been a great company to work for and I have always felt supported and valued. Smart Start, (now Loving Start) is more like a family and teachers and staff get along great and it makes going to work fun.
