Ms. Ashley
Lead Teacher
Hello, I have been a teacher at Little Jewels since 2021. I attended Heartland Community College and have been working in childcare for over 15 years. In my free time I love to spend time with family and crafting. I own a small business and dedicate a lot of my time to that. I love working with kids because it is amazing to watch them learn and grow daily - even the smallest milestones!
Ms. Jessica
Assistant Teacher
Hi, my name is Jessica Markello. I have worked in child care for almost 30 years. It is a passion of mine. I started working for Little Jewels in 2004. I was hired to work in the Butterfly room as an assistant. I left in 2006 when I gave birth to my first daughter but then returned in 2018 and have worked here ever since. In my free time I love spending time with my family. My family consists of my husband Brad and my three children Jocelyn, Jaylie, and Brayden. I also have two beautiful grandsons, named Westyn and Enoch. I am so thankful to be able to work with and watch your children grow as they make their way through Little Jewels.

Mr. Kadyn
Assistant Teacher
Hi my name is Kadyn! I have been at Little Jewels a little over a year and have loved every second of it. I enjoy working with kids because it gives me the opportunity to create a safe space for the kids to open up or have someone to talk to. I also enjoy being able to be a person the kids see as a role model. I am a very active person, so in my free time you'll either catch me at the gym lifting weights, training Jiu Jitsu, or playing some type of sport! I also love to hang out with my friends and play video games.
