Mrs Scheffers
Welcome! My name is Janice Scheffers and I am the director and a teacher here at Federated Preschool. My journey began in 1990 when my son attended and my daughter followed him two years later. I enjoyed being a parent volunteer and watching the joy in all the children being with their peers while learning and growing. In 1996 I joined the team of educators as a teacher’s assistant, then eventually as a classroom teacher and in 2005 became the second director in the school’s 50 year history. The combination of childcare in my home and my time with the preschool I have shared my passion of educating children and their families for nearly 32 years. My team along with myself dedicate our work to provide a safe and nurturing environment for each unique child who becomes part of our preschool family. The child’s academics, physical growth and developmental needs are met and then challenged for the next step in their early childhood journey.

Mrs. Busby
My name is Tiffany Busby. I am a teacher at Federated Preschool. I have been a member of this awesome preschool family for 10 years. I am a mother of 4 amazing kids who are not so little anymore.

Their smiles and laughs are the most genuine thing in this world. Children are our future, and their future is bright!
