Staff | Happy Days Preschool

Our Staff

We have fun together, love children, have excellent training and really enjoy working here!

Annette Miller - Director

My life at Happy Days began when a friend of mine recommended the preschool to me for my first child. Little did I know I would be starting a journey that would not only provide amazing educational and social experiences for all four of my children, but also an abundance of love and special relationships for me!

Over the years, I have served in many capacities including teaching both 3-4’s and 4-5’s, teacher and director aide, curriculum coordinator and now as director. Being involved in every facet has helped me learn the things that are important to children and their families as well as to appreciate and value the staff that make it all happen. I can honestly say the amount of love, guidance and support demonstrated between the staff and children is second to none.

There are so many things I love about our school…from watching the children learn and grow academically to watching them laugh and enjoy the special fun days we plan, to watching them develop special friendships and their own self-confidence…..BUT I think the thing I love MOST is who I share it with……our staff, our children and our families! They are the reason I am blessed to be a part of the Happy Days Family and why I am proud to call Happy Days my home away from home!

My role at Happy Days is a 3-4 yr old teacher. My role is very special to me because as their first teacher I will be introducing them to school. My goal is to make sure they have a positive and loving experience.

My journey at Happy Days began when I was looking for a preschool for our children. When we learned of Happy Days we instantly fell in love with the nurturing and educational atmosphere.

I love the warm and inviting feeling you get when you walk in the door. The friendships we make and the memories we share are treasured forever. When you leave here, there's no doubt you are forever a part of our Happy Days family.

Liz Boshears

I am a 4-5 year old teacher at Happy Days Preschool. I was first introduced to Happy Days Preschool several years ago when I was looking for a preschool program for my middle son. My neighbors recommended Happy Days and we figured out why quickly. The atmosphere was just what my son needed.

I have worked in public schools for seven years. I worked with a variety of grade levels but preschool has always been my favorite. I love watching children explore and learn about the world around them. I find it fun to work with them and help them learn.

I look forward to meeting the children and their families and helping them learn and grow this school year.

I was introduced to Happy days about two years ago when my son attended here and I automatically fell in love with everyone. The teachers were so welcoming and I was a very nervous mommy, however everyone assured me he would be so happy here and they were correct. Now I am super excited that I get to be a part of this amazing family!

I've been working with children for about 18 years. I've always had a passion for teaching children and I’m super excited to be teaching your children and learning and growing with all of you!

Cheryl Carmack

My current role at Happy Days is a teacher's aide and I previously taught 3’s and early 4’s. I learned about Happy Days from various neighbors and friends from Amelia, Anderson and Mt. Washington. All good things! So I decided to sign my daughter Harper up. Initially she had issues with socializing. During her first year at Happy Days she started talking to strangers at the store so I knew Happy Days was working for her. The bonus was she was learning along the way.

I love Happy Days because not only did my child learn and thrive her two years at the school, I now get to see first hand how special Happy Days truly is. Happy Days makes learning fun all year long.

Annette Miller is a true leader and has great connections with not just each of her teachers but every single child at Happy Days. She makes all of the kiddos feel special and gives each teacher a sense of belonging. I truly enjoy working at such a special place. I'm happy to be a part of the tribe!

Emma Holder

My journey at Happy Days Preschool began when I was only 4 years old. Happy Days Preschool was my first introduction to school and now my first exposure to a profession in education!

I am currently studying American Sign Language Interpreting with hopes to interpret in a K-12 educational environment.

I’ve always had a knack for working with kids, which makes me immensely excited for the upcoming school year!

During my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, cooking, and spending time on my miniature farm.

As a teacher, I’m ready to watch your child flourish here with us at Happy Days Preschool!

Megan Kiger

My role at Happy Days is a teacher's aide.

I first learned about Happy Days when considering a preschool for my daughter. I received recommendations from many of my family and friends. My daughter absolutely loved it right away and was begging to go to school every day!

I joined the Happy Days team in 2018 and was able to see first hand how much each staff member puts into their classrooms, making it a fun and safe environment to learn so many new things. They truly go above and beyond. I left for a few years after having my son and now he attends Happy Days.

I am excited to be back in the classrooms! It's a blessing to be part of such an amazing preschool. I enjoy watching each child practice their writing and fine motor skills with crafts, but most of all I love seeing them make new friends!

Taylor Ortman

Growing up in Bethel, I have always heard of Happy Days. Fast forward many years, this was the top pick for both of my daughters to attend preschool. My husband and I were blown away by how much our children loved attending school, how much love they felt at school, and how they have thrived academically!

This is my first year teaching at Happy Days and I am thrilled to be part of the love-filled atmosphere! As a three-year-old teacher, I am privileged to be one of the first faces a child will have in a school setting. I strive to leave a lasting impression and encourage children to love school!

I have been a stay-at-home mom for the last six years. Prior to that, I worked in multiple childcare roles throughout Clermont County. In my free time I enjoy reading, attending concerts, and traveling.

I look forward to this school year and making memories with such an incredible team!

Angie Pointer

This is my fifth year as a Happy Days teacher!

I have been involved in childcare in

Clermont County since 2002, with a CDA

in Preschool education. Most recently,

I've been a stay-at-home mom and

babysitter.

I got to know the Happy Days staff

pretty well bringing many of my

babysitting kids here over the years.

Each of those kids LOVED their time in

preschool, and I could see why! The

caring and dedicated staff, the fun

environment, and the wonderful

programming at Happy Days make it the

best preschool around!

I feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing team!

My role at Happy Days is as a 3-4 year old teacher. I also teach 4-5 year olds on Tuesdays.

I first learned about Happy Days when my niece started and I saw how much the Happy Days staff loves and cares for each one of the kiddos.

When it was time for my oldest to start preschool, I knew right away I would be sending her to Happy Days.

Happy Days truly is one big family that I'm super thankful to be a part of.

I look forward to all the hugs every day and getting to watch them grow and learn.
