Kim Eggenberger

Owner

Our young family moved to Stanwood in 1991. Recognizing the great need for high quality child care, Home Sweet Home Daycare was born.

It was important for me to create an environment that I had been searching for as a working Mom for my own children. I've never looked back!

I have devoted my life to caring and educating children and their families. My team shares my passion and vision! We are early childhood educators, and we are striving for excellence for kid's sake everyday!

Opening our new program, Imagine That! ELC has been a decade long dream of mine. We are excited to share this wonderful program with our community!

Play on!

Beka Johnston

Director/ Lead Teacher

Hello! I am Teacher Beka! I have deep roots in N. Snohomish County and lived in Stanwood since 2005.

I have 2 awesome children! We like to camp, hike, bike, explore, travel, adventure and all the fun things! Adventure is a family value!

I serve as a girl scout leader and public advocate for children's sake.

I have been an early educator for 20 years already and my what fun it's been! I hold an associates degree in General Studies and Early Childhood Education, as well as having over 200 hours in Professional Development and am still growing my brain at WGU.

I have educated students and families in Public Sector State Funded Preschool, Cooperative Community Preschool, and the Private Sector School. I am deeply passionate about the value of high quality, nurturing, developmentally appropriate early childhood (birth-8yo) education. Sixty years of solid research supports the short term investment and long term payoff of high quality early education. Early Ed is BIG business!

Imagine That has given me the opportunity to bridge my value for our natural world with my love for educating our next generation of world leaders and the earth's ambassadors! It is an honor and delight to serve my community!

Chyenne Riber

Lead Teacher

Hello, I'm Teacher Chyenne!

I grew up in Burlington and moved to the Stanwood/Camano Island area 9 years ago and can't imagine living anywhere else now.

I have 3 amazing young boys that love to keep me on my toes! If we aren't on the baseball field you can catch me in the garden, as I love to grow anything and everything I possibly can!

I was a stay at home mom for 7 years before returning to work two years ago in early childhood education. I'm looking forward to many more years of facilitating learning and growing through play!

I am so excited to be a part of Imagine That family and to see your children grow and learn everyday!

Melody Wicks

Teacher's Assistant

My name is Melody and I am 20 years old. I have been working with children for the past two years and absolutely love it! I am currently attending Skagit Valley Community College pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. Not only do I have a passion for teaching children, but also a passion for animals. Before COVID-19 I was a leader for a local 4-H Rabbit and Cavy (Guinea Pig) club program. In this role, I mentored and taught children of all ages about animals and their general care. This is what sparked my love of teaching.
