Meredith – Owner & Director 🌲

Meredith’s roots run deep in A Quiet Forest Preschool. Growing up in the program her parents started in 1990, Meredith spent her childhood surrounded by laughter, learning, and the magic of nurturing care. She worked alongside her mother through high school and returned full-time after her son was born.

Meredith brings a rich tapestry of experience:

• Educator & Leader: Worked in multiple preschool programs, ran summer camps at her art studio, and volunteered with children through Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and YMCA coaching.
• Veteran Service: A retired Army Veteran with over 20 years of service as a Medic and Nationally Registered EMT, Meredith’s dedication to safety is unmatched. She’s certified in CPR/First Aid and has previously been an instructor.
• Lifelong Learner: Meredith holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Marketing (Washington State University), an Associate’s in Business (Pierce College), and a Bookkeeping Certificate (Bellevue College). She’s currently pursuing her Early Childhood Education AA at Bellevue College.

Meredith’s love for children, education, and community inspires her to carry on the family legacy while infusing it with her own passion for nature, creativity, and exploration.

“Every child is a seed with the potential to grow tall and strong. My role is to nurture that growth with care, compassion, and curiosity.”
