About Us

President/Owner/Teacher - Emily Vasica:

Emily is the Mother of 4 beautiful children. She loves her family, anything outdoors and scrap booking. She graduated from Brighton High school in 1999. She has also taken many State Educational Training's and has completed the "Love and Logic" courses. She has been a childcare provider for 9+ years, during that time she has learned what is most important to help our children to grow and inspire them to learn.
Emily has such a passion for our Children's education! Because of this passion she became one of the two original Co-Founders for Providence Hall Charter School in March of 2006. This is a K-6 elementary school that gives 700 children a wonderful education each year (and is currently adding a 7-9th grade which will house an additional 450 students due to the wonderful current board). Although she is no longer an active member of Providence Halls Board of Trustees, she is grateful and honored to forever be a Historic Member of Providence Hall.
As a member of the Board of Trustees, Emily helped write the Charter that received approval from the Utah State Board of Education. She was the Vice Chair from March 2006 until September 2007 and she was the Facility Chair until April 2008. Her job's were designing all of the facilities interior and exterior, buying much of the furniture and over-seeing that the facility was being built right and on time. She also spent a lot of time helping in the curriculum areas of the school, she helped watch and research several of the amazing programs that are being used in Providence today.
Emily has worked very hard to help create this school along with many other wonderful Founding Members, and she is continually working hard to ensure a wonderful education for our younger children as well.
Emily Started " A Child's Garden Preschool" in September of 2007. After extensive research she has put together wonderful programs for our preschool age children. She is committed to giving our younger children a wonderful education to help prepare them for their future.

Louri was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. She loves hanging out with her family and friends! Her favorite activities are camping, boating, wake boarding, canoeing, and going to the movies. After graduating High School in 1995 she immediately took a job as a Nanny for two great families. Now she has a wonderful family of her own which includes 3 beautiful children. She met her husband while vacationing here in 1997 and decided to make Utah her permanent home. She has always enjoyed working with children. She has had various church callings where she has been able to teach music and various lessons to children from the age of 18 months to 18 years old. One of her favorite jobs was working in the Gold's Gym Daycare. She loved getting to know so many great families! She chose to put 2 of her children in A Child's Garden Preschool because Mrs. Emily incorporates three things that she's always had an interest in for her and her children. First, learning the Spanish language. Louri took several Spanish language courses in and after High School. She realized after moving to Utah how valuable it would truly be to know Spanish. She looks forward to sharing what she has learned with your children! Second, she loves that Signing Time is incorporated at the preschool. After her son received several videos for his birthday she was hooked! Her older daughters even loved watching the videos and doing the signs. Third, the use of Love & Logic in the classroom. She's a big believer in Love & Logic and is grateful for the positive affect it has had in her home. The use of it produces a more positive learning environment in the home and in the classroom. It encourages children to do for themselves and raises their confidence. She looks forward to being a teacher and seeing the growth in all of your amazing children!
