The Haven Preschool is owned and taught by RhaeAnna Haven (Ms.Rhae - pronounced "ray"). Ms.Rhae has known since the young age of 6 years old that she was meant to be a teacher. She is overjoyed to be fulfilling her dream!

​

Ms.Rhae is also a volunteer facilitator for The Moon Nest - a circle for mamas of toddlers, held once a month at the Whatcom Family Village.

​

Ms.Rhae has two children of her own: a 7 year old (Everly) and a 3 year old (River). In her spare time, Ms.Rhae enjoys exploring local trails and beaches, traveling to nearby islands, and crafting little treasures at home.
