Meet Our Teachers

Chelsea GiannoneOwner - Teacher

My name is Chelsea and I am the founder of Storybook Preschool and Daycare. I started my career working with children in a Daycare facility for 8 years prior which motivated me to open up my own daycare facilities with the focus of stimulating the minds of young children using the S.T.E.A.M program.

My teaching philosophy nurtures the whole child and supports their social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth, while providing for a warm, safe and friendly environment to grow.
Here is where, “Their Story” begins ~

Christina Director/Teacher

Here at Storybook, I am now known more as grandma rather than teacher Christina. I love playing with the kids and providing them with lots of invigorating kudos. Kids are a sponge and they need to be soaked in love and exciting ways of learning their environment around themselves. From friends, self worth, respect, values and leadership as a teacher and director, this is my given job of warmth and dedication. I am constantly referring to others I meet, that I have 20 grandchildren, all who are lovely and have unique personalities. In fact, I have been blessed with my first grand baby in 2021 and she is absolutely adorable!

I am a 4th generation native Oregonian, who grew up in a small town outside of Eugene making my way to the Portland area some 25yrs ago. My love for the outdoors has not altered over the years; hiking, fishing, camping, all water sports and community activities are a large part of my life. I love meeting new people and children. In my previous work life, I worked in the travel industry, promoting Mexico, Europe and Costa Rica, as well as a local high profile travel company here in the Portland area promoting local day trips. Over the years my love for the smaller things in life have grown, such as seeing the beauty in children & birds. Birding excursions have taken me all over the world. My life count is 1,205 bird species.

I joined my daughter in her life long dream of opening up a Preschool for children here in the Lake Oswego area. Previously working with her of many years in her in-home daycare has inspired us to where we are now. We are going strong and our program and lives are forever changing. We have a great relationship and strive to keep our center to a comfortable in-home learning environment within a preschool setting.

This is me and my love for life!

Director/Teacher Christina
