Owner/Director
My name is Ms. Mandi and I took over ownership of Planet Earth in January of 2021! For as long as I can remember I've dreamt of becoming a teacher. I feel that educators have such high influence over children's futures; I embrace that wholeheartedly. I have worked in the childcare setting for over 10 years. I have earned my Bachelor's Degree and Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. My family consists of my husband, son, four cats and dog. In my free time I enjoy playing music, making art, hiking and playing soccer. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions, comments or concerns. I look forward to getting to know you and your child/ren!

Assistant Director
My name is Miss Lish. I am the Assistant Director at Planet Earth. As a mom of a sophmore in college, I have experienced many stages of growth and development. I also began caring for multiple children at the age of 11. I enjoy watching them learn all kinds of new things, with my assistance. Their imagination and creativity never cease to amaze me. I look forward to teaching and growing with your children. I have recently obtained my School-Age Endorsement certificate at the administration level.

Infant Teacher
My name is Ms. Julie. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood education from Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania. I have been married over thirty years and have four grown children. I love being a mom.
In my free time I enjoy tending to my flower garden. Flowers always make me happy. I also love decorating and organizing my home. My goal is for your babies to feel safe and loved in my care. I strive to take care of each baby like I cared for my own children when they were small. I love watching them reach each milestone. It's so fun to watch them grow and learn new things. Planet Earth Preschool and Daycare is truly a special place and I am glad to be part of the team.
