Meet our Teachers

Mrs. Vinnie

Two Year Olds Teacher

As the oldest of six, I have been taking care of and teaching children most of my life. I spent five years as a Nanny to multiple children and have nearly 15 years of experience in daycare/ preschool settings loving children of various ages. When I’m not at school, you can find me at my home with my daughter and my pets. I love arts, cooking and crafts. 


Ms. Laura

Two Year Olds Teacher

I’’m a retired medical/legal transcriptionist, originally from Southern California. I’ve lived in The Carolinas and Florida over the past 25+ years. I have 4 children, 6 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. I enjoy cruising and have been to many countries in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. 

I love watching children absorb the world around them like little sponges. They remind us of the beauty of life. 


Mrs. Danyell

Two Year Olds Teacher

I graduated from Central Community College in Early Childhood Education with NC Credentials and NC Childcare Worker Certificate. When I am not at school you can find me at the soccer field watching my 3 girls play. I love to garden, visit the mountains and relax with my 3 pets on the couch.


Mrs. Catie

Three Year Olds Teacher

I moved to Holly Springs with my husband in 2019, I remember seeing the sign for Little Dreamers and thinking “If I ever had a child, that sounds like a fun place for them to go.”Little did I know my son would attend, and I would teach there as well! I love seeing the creativity of a child’s mind, and watching them learn about the world around them.
I graduated in 2012 with a bachelor’s of science in biology, and a minor in chemistry. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, sewing, and going to the gym.


Ms. Mayra

Three Year Olds Teacher

I am happy to call Holly Springs home alongside my husband and our two children, who are both Little Dreamers alumni. Working with kids is my passion, especially when I get to nurture their creative and academic growth.


Ms. Sonia

Three Year Olds Teacher

I’m a preschool teacher who loves turning everyday moments into magical learning adventures. I believe kids learn best when they’re busy exploring, creating, and having fun—so my classroom is all about hands-on experiences, big imaginations, and lots of smiles. After moving from the hustle and bustle of NYC to the cozy charm of Holly Springs, I’ve found my happy place at Little Dreamers, where my own family has blossomed too. Now in my second year of teaching, I’m thrilled to keep cheering on little learners as they grow more independent, make new friends, and discover the joy of learning every single day.


Mrs. Charlene

Pre K Teacher

I earned my degree in Elementary Education and spent five years teaching 1st grade, along with experience in preschool education. Teaching has always been my passion, though I took a break from the classroom to be a stay-at-home mom to my two boys. My oldest is a proud Little Dreamer alum, and now I get the joy of bringing my youngest to school with me each day. I’ve truly missed being in a classroom, and I’m so excited to be returning to what I love and joining the Little Dreamer family! Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my boys, reading, crafting, photography, baking sourdough, spending time outdoors especially at the beach, planning parties, watching Friends, going to concerts, and traveling whenever I can.


Mrs. Aruna

Pre K Teacher

I live in Holly Springs with my husband and our two wonderful children—an 8-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter. This is my second year teaching at this school, and it’s extra special because my daughter also attends here. We absolutely love being part of this amazing community where the teachers are friendly, helpful, and kind. Kids grow up so fast, and it’s such a joy to be part of their journey here.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy challenging myself to learn new things. Some of my favorite hobbies include baking, drawing, and stitching. I’m so excited to get to know your kids and look forward to working with them this year!


Preschool teacher

Mrs. Tiffany

Pre K Teacher

I have taught Pre-K and also subbed for Little Dreamers since 2018. I have been a teacher in Pre-K classrooms for eight years.

I enjoy teaching Pre-K aged children as their curiosity and enthusiasm make every day exciting and full of discovery. 

I like to say it’s like stepping into a world of endless giggles, boundless imagination, and adorable “aha!” moments! 

It’s incredibly rewarding to nurture their creativity, social skills, and love for learning during these foundational years.


Mrs. Kristin

Pre K Teacher

My journey with Little Dreamers began as a parent when my son enrolled in the 3’s class. I was immediately drawn to the nurturing, close-knit environment that supported his early educational experiences. In 2011, I was fortunate to join the staff as a Pre-K teacher, and it has been a joy and privilege to teach, support, and connect with the students and families who have passed through my classroom. I believe that Pre-K is a formative time filled with exploration, discovery, and the development of independence, and I am truly honored to play a role in the lives of children during this important stage of growth.


Mrs. Terri

Owner and Director

A Holly Springs resident since 2000 and a mother of five (including three Little Dreamers alumni!), my connection to this preschool runs deep. Starting as a teacher in 2010, I became Director in 2016 and took ownership in 2021. My passion lies in creating a loving space where each child can discover the joy of learning and growth.
