From indoor play at Raindrops Playhouse to a rainy-day Ladybug Walk at Powell Butte, our Ready, Set, Go! classrooms are embracing spring with hands-on exploration, movement, and joy-filled learning beyond the classroom walls.

Meet Vitzah Santilli, this month’s Staff Spotlight! With over 30 years of early childhood experience—and nearly a decade with Ready, Set, Go!—Vitzah brings heart, expertise, and a deep belief in family-centered learning to her work at the Wichita Center.

Take a peek inside our Ready, Set, Go! classroom at the Wichita Center—where little learners and their families grow together. Recently featured by NCSD, this joyful program helps kids build confidence before kindergarten.

Virginia Quijano (she/her) started as an AmeriCorps member in 2018 and now leads our Pre-K classroom at Meadows Elementary, helping children and families grow together. Her passion for early childhood development shines through in the strong, lasting connections she builds with families — plus, she’s got five guinea pigs ready to be our next mascots!
