Employed by Happy Days since 2001
Hi, my name is Annette Miller. My life at Happy Days began when a friend of mine recommended the preschool to me for my son, Jake (21), back in 2001. Little did I know I would be starting a journey that would not only provide solid educational and social experiences for my children but also an abundance of blessings and love for me! I began my teaching career that year and continued throughout the time my daughter, Bailey (18), attended. Then, I was blessed to give birth to twins, Brooklynn and Jackson (15). Needless to say, I found it necessary to take a couple years off! I returned to my teaching position in 2006, and the rest is history! While I have primarily taught 4 and 5-year old classes during my time at Happy Days, I have also served the school as a 3 and 4-year old teacher, curriculum coordinator and Aide to the Director. Educationally, I have completed various courses relating to early childhood education and development, and I have a BSBA in Marketing from The Ohio State University. One of the things I treasure most about my life at Happy Days is the relationships I have formed with the children and their parents. From watching the children learn to write their first, middle and last names to hearing them lip-sync their favorite songs to applying my signature kissy marks on their little faces, the memories we’ve shared will last a lifetime and always bring me a smile. My hope is for every child to not only be prepared to begin the next phase of their education but to also feel loved and special because they truly are just that at our school! When I’m not at Happy Days, I love to shop, craft and just be with my family. We enjoy going to movies and concerts together and playing cards/games. My husband and I have been married 24 years and we are now Netflix/Amazon junkies. We love to find new things to watch just the two of us, preferably scary! I also enjoy being with my friends and my favorite thing to do with them is talk and eat, but mostly talk!
