Children 6 weeks-18 months old
For stability and consistency, each child will be assigned a primary caregiver. Primary caregivers ensure a sense of trust with each child. Caregivers develop this bond through consistent, predictable, and reliable care.

Aryel Tester,
Baby-ginners Co-Lead Teacher
Aryel has been with Heaven’s Elect since 2011. She has accumulated hundreds of hours of child development training and continues taking early childhood classes. She has over thirteen years of experience working with children.
Aryel believes that working with little ones is a blessing. She loves all the baby snuggles and cuddles she gets daily. She enjoys singing, playing, and engaging in messy art with our infants. Her favorite part of working with children is teaching about God’s Love.
Outside work, Aryel enjoys taking long walks and spending time with her two children.
Liz Allen,
Baby-ginners Co-Lead Teacher
We welcomed Liz to our Heaven’s Elect team in 2021. Liz completed her Early Childhood Education certificate at Delta College in 2020 and has over four years of experience working with children.
Liz believes that children are naturally curious. Children thrive when they are allowed to let their curiosity direct their learning. Liz provides the little ones with ample opportunity to explore and learn from their surroundings through choice play and hands-on learning.
Comparing her relationship with God to the feeling of “coming home,” Liz has found a safe place of rest in God’s love where she can be herself.
Growing up with a large family has prepared her for the stimulating chaos of a classroom. Outside of work, you can find Liz enjoying the outdoors, riding her RZR, and playing with her dog.

Stephanie Seeley,
1st Steppers Lead Teacher
Stephanie has been with Heaven’s Elect since 2017. She has attended several Child Development classes and has over 15 years of experience working with children.
Miss Stephanie enjoys playing and having fun with our babies. The children seem to feed off her laid-back attitude. She loves having the opportunity to get to know each parent and child on an individual basis. Learning about each child’s varying needs assists her in providing the best possible care for the children in her room. Leaning on God’s everlasting love has delivered her through some tough times. She feels she could not have done without His guidance leading the way.
Stephanie enjoys watching movies, spending time with her husband and two daughters.
