Where the Passion Begins
Melissa Jaglan
Owner
Greetings from Little Scholars Learning House! As the proud owner, I am honored to share my passion for children and learning with you. With over a decade of experience in the field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to our center.
A wife and mother of two beautiful daughters, I understand the importance of providing a nurturing and enriching environment for every child. Graduating from Western Michigan University in 2014 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a ZA endorsement in Early Childhood Education, I have a strong foundation in both traditional and Montessori education.
My journey with Montessori education began years ago, where I received extensive training and gained real-life experience implementing Montessori principles in the classroom. Through this journey, I have learned that true leadership is not just about leading by example, but also about serving the community with compassion and integrity.
I am excited to continue serving the families and staff here at Little Scholars Learning House, and I look forward to many more years of providing high-quality early childhood education and care. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's educational journey. Together, we will create a foundation for lifelong learning and success. 🌟📚

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I'm deeply passionate about providing the best possible learning experiences for our children.
As an advocate for Montessori education, I'm dedicated to creating a child-centered environment that prioritizes hands-on learning and individualized instruction. Collaborating closely with our talented team, I strive to develop engaging activities and experiences that inspire exploration, independence, and creativity in every child. Additionally, I place great emphasis on fostering a strong sense of community and instilling values of respect and empathy in our little scholars.
With my leadership experience and commitment to excellence, I'm excited to lead our team in providing the highest quality early childhood education to our families. Together, we'll create a nurturing and enriching environment where every child can thrive. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education and growth journey. 🌟📚
Ms. Priscilla
2's Lead Teacher
My name is Ms. Priscilla, and I have been part of the Little Scholars Learning House family for over a year. I started as a teaching assistant, working in each classroom and gaining experience with children of all ages before becoming the Lead Teacher in our Two-Year-Old classroom.
I am passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging environment where every child can learn, grow, and build confidence at their own pace. Originally from San Diego, California, I enjoy spending my free time with my husband, our cats, and our dog. I look forward to partnering with families and being part of each child's early learning journey.
Ms. Gitte
Infant Lead Teacher
Hello! I have over 16 years of experience in early childhood education and am dedicated to nurturing the growth, curiosity, and development of young children. I hold a degree in English from the University of Texas and have completed advanced training in Early Childhood Education through Western Michigan University. Outside the classroom, I enjoy my husband’s delicious Italian cooking, spoiling my two grand-dogs, reading on cozy rainy days, and tending to my garden—especially when bumblebees are buzzing nearby.
