The Team of Fields of Fun Child Care

Hi, my name is Taryn! I am the President of Fields of Fun Child Care. A little bit about me is that I have three sons who take up most of my husband's and my time! We love to be outside whenever we can. I really enjoy being active, so I do a lot of walking/jogging, kayaking, hiking, and of course chasing the boys around. I attended Mount Mercy University, where I graduated with a Double Major in Biology and Outdoor Conservation. I have been in business management for around 7 years, and before that was in an administrative role. During that time I worked in management, marketing, sales, customer relations, estimating, and more. When the opportunity presented itself to be able to help the community and families with child care, I was eager to take it!

Hello, my name is Haley! I am the Center Director here at Fields of Fun Child Care. I am currently earning a Bachelor's in Elementary Education at Northwestern College. Education has always been a passion, working almost 10 years in the field. All my free time is spent with family, friends, and our two dogs. My family enjoys spending time outdoors, drinking coffee, and making memories.

I look forward to building relationships with each staff member, family, and student that walks into our center!

Hi, My name is Destinee. I’m a 26 year old mom of two beautiful girls who keep life full of love, laughter, and a little bit of chaos! Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my daughters and very opinionated cat simba. I also enjoy building Legos (yes—even the tough sets!), and diving into all things Marvel. I’m passionate about finding balance between work and family while showing up with my heart in everything I do. Whether I’m collaborating on a team project or watching the latest superhero movie, I bring energy, creativity, and a strong sense of purpose to whatever’s in front of me.

Hello!

My name is Kaitlyn Woolf. I'm 22 years old and I'm the Lead Toddler Teacher in Desert. As a dedicated teacher, I bring a passion for early childhood education and a commitment to creating a nurturing environment for young learners. With years of experience in babysitting growing up as the oldest grandchild, I've guided many toddlers through their critical developmental stages. I create engaging, age-appropriate activities that help teach their young minds. My approach emphasizes individualized attention and ensuring that each child feels valued and supported. My goal is to inspire a love for learning in every child and to lay a strong foundation for their future. In my free time I love to bake, crochet, and spend time with my friends and family!

I look forward to seeing your children each day and putting a smile on their face!

My name is Alexis, I am the lead teacher of the Wetland room here at Fields of Fun. I babysat most of my summers as a teenager, took child development and parenting classes in high-school, and have been working in childcare centers since May 2021. I am working towards my CDA in my spare time.

In my time in childcare I have worked with infants, ones, and twos. Two year olds are just full of creativity and excitement in everything they do. Watching your children's personalities grow and develop during my time with them is one of my favorite parts of the job.

A few things about me are: I was a licensed cosmetologist for 5 years, I have a blended family with a total of 5 children, I like to craft, I love all things dark and spooky, and have a pet Ball Python at home!

Hi! My name is Kylie Anderson & I’m so excited to be your child’s lead teacher. I find so much joy in being around others and supporting their education & growth.

I can’t wait to meet you and your little one!

Hello, my name is Miss. Brooke and I am the lead teacher in Forest. I have been with FOF since October 2024. I am from Cedar Rapids/Marion,Iowa. I graduated high school from Marion High School in 2013. I have three amazing children. I have one sassy daughter and two crazy boys. They are my motivation for life. I am very passionate about early childhood education and absolutely enjoy teaching young children. I am very much excited to teach your children and watch them grow in every milestone as 3 year olds. My goal is to have as much fun learning as possible and to have fun filled days of adventures. Feel free to stop in our classroom if you have any questions or even just to talk. I am an open book and always open for conversation. I look forward to being your child’s teacher.

I am creative, love to stay active, and I bring these passions into my kitchen and cook with love for each and every single student. I work under the direct supervision of the facility Director and assume responsibility for feeding One’s-School age children. I am responsible for delivery preparation and delivery of food to classrooms and cleanup; maintenance of common areas and kitchen on a daily basis as required. I believe that the early years are an important time to nurture a child’s interest in nutritious and different foods and overall their wellbeing. I strive to provide an inviting, fun, and creative kitchen environment on a daily basis. NO child will ever be left hungry in my kitchen, because I make sure each child’s portions are correct and everyone gets their daily dose of fruits, grain, vegetables, protein, and dairy. Working with children ensures each day will be a unique adventure because kids are exciting and unpredictable And that is why I absolutely love what I do!
