 At Rise and Shine, our team is more than just staff, we're a family dedicated to nurturing the brightest beginnings. 

Together, we bring joy, expertise, and heart to every moment we share with the little ones in our care. 

Here's to the team that makes the magic happen every day! 

Our Humboldt Street team is a compassionate and steady group of early childhood professionals who bring warmth, intention, and deep care into every interaction. They specialize in creating a peaceful, responsive environment where infants and toddlers feel secure, comforted, and encouraged to explore at their own pace.

With a strong foundation in developmentally appropriate practice and relationship-based care, the Humboldt Street team focuses on building trust first—knowing that secure attachments are the cornerstone of healthy growth. Families often notice the team’s gentle presence, clear communication, and genuine attentiveness to each child’s unique rhythms and needs.

We are incredibly grateful for the consistency, professionalism, and heart our Humboldt Street team brings to our Rise and Shine community every day.

Our Montgomery Village team is a dedicated group of nurturing, experienced early childhood professionals who are passionate about caring for infants and toddlers during their most important developmental years. They are known for their warmth, patience, and attentiveness—creating a calm, responsive environment where children feel safe, seen, and deeply valued.

Each team member is trained in developmentally appropriate care, relationship-based practices, and health and safety standards, working together to support every child’s growth, curiosity, and sense of belonging. Families often share that what sets Montgomery Village apart is the genuine love, consistency, and joy our team brings into the classroom each day.

We’re proud of the heart, professionalism, and commitment this team brings to our Montgomery Village community.

Our Rohnert Park team is known for their energy, teamwork, and thoughtful presence with children and families. They approach each day with intention—balancing structure and flexibility to meet infants and toddlers exactly where they are developmentally and emotionally.

This team places a strong emphasis on observation, responsiveness, and partnership with families. Teachers carefully follow children’s cues, support emerging independence, and create meaningful routines that help children feel confident and at ease. Families often comment on the team’s approachability, consistency, and the trust that develops through open communication and daily connection.

We are grateful for the dedication, professionalism, and care our Rohnert Park team brings to our Rise and Shine community.

Our HR Coordinator plays a vital role in supporting both our team and our organization as a whole. With a thoughtful, people-centered approach, she ensures that our staff feel welcomed, supported, and set up for success from their first day and throughout their journey with Rise and Shine.

From onboarding and compliance to ongoing support and communication, our HR Coordinator works behind the scenes to keep our programs running smoothly while fostering a positive, respectful workplace culture. Her attention to detail, approachability, and commitment to fairness help create an environment where our educators can focus on what they do best caring for children and families.
