About Us
Founded by Darsie Vella, a passionate early childhood and elementary educator with years of hands-on experience, Darsie’s Doodlebug Preschool was created with heart, imagination, and a deep love for learning. Our goal is to nurture young minds in a space that feels just like home—where giggles are welcome, messes mean learning, and every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated.
With a focus on creativity, exploration, and comfort, we encourage little ones to grow at their own pace through play-based learning and meaningful connections.
Our Core Values
At Darsie’s Doodlebug Preschool, we believe in creating a joyful, meaningful start to your child’s learning journey. Our approach is rooted in four core values that guide everything we do:
Creativity
We spark imagination through art, music, and open-ended play.
Exploration
Kids learn best when they’re encouraged to ask, touch, try, and discover.
Comfort
A cozy, safe space where every child feels at home, supported, and understood.
Learning
Through playful structure and hands-on activities, we foster a lifelong love of learning.
