Tami Spidle
Tami Spidle has been a licensed childcare provider since 1995. At first, it was to simply be home with her own daughters, but then she fell in love with a child’s development and began taking college courses on Brain and Whole Body Development. This influenced Tami’s understanding of what a child truly needs to thrive, shaping her focus on play as the truest means for every child’s developmental journey.
