Hi my name is Courtney. I am from California and moved to Williams 7 years ago with my husband and dogs. I enjoy going shopping with my mom and hanging with my family.

Infants

I've been working with kids for the past 10 years and love it. Watching them grow and learn is such a blessing. I’m from the valley, but lived part of my youth in a small town in New Mexico. I moved to Flagstaff so my husband can finish his degree.

Hello, I’m Hailey! I’m an NAU graduate, a creative writer, and a mom to three cats. I work here with our infants!

Hello, my name is Abigail Soto, but I go by Abby. I’ve been the two's teacher for almost a year now, and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I was born in Mexico, but was raised here in Flagstaff, and I’ve been living here for 26 years. I’ve been married for 7 strong years now to my amazing husband Juan Manuel, and we are trying to build our little family soon. Pinecone Preschool has allowed me to learn and grow so much along with these wonderful children.
