Our Tigard Team

Hello! I’m Alamelumangai, the kids call me Ms. Alams. I have a deep passion for teaching and currently work as a preschool teacher. I love to see children learning and growing. I find immense joy in helping young minds flourish. I enjoy the simple pleasures in life by going on long drives, I’m vegetarian, and I cherish every moment I spend with my family.

Hi, I’m Angie. With two years of experience in early childhood education, I am passionate about creating a nurturing and engaging environment where children feel supported as they learn and grow. My favorite part of working in childcare is watching children discover new skills and gain confidence in themselves. My teaching goals include fostering curiosity, building strong foundations for lifelong learning, and encouraging kindness and collaboration in the classroom.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my blue heeler. I am excited to share my sense of adventure and appreciation for nature with my students.

Hi, I’m Marlene! I’ve been working in Early Childhood Education for over 12 years, and I truly love what I do. Helping young children learn, grow, and discover the world around them is one of my greatest joys. I enjoy building strong relationships with families so we can work together to support each child’s unique journey. When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me hiking in the mountains with my family, enjoying fresh air, beautiful views, and plenty of adventures.

Hello, my name is Robyn, and I am honored to join Safari Kid Tigard as the Center Director. I have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education and have always been passionate about creating strong, positive connections with families.

My goal for Safari Kid Tigard is to foster a welcoming, inclusive community where every family feels safe, valued, and supported. I am deeply committed to providing the highest quality care and education for the children in our program, while also ensuring that each child feels seen, respected, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, playing pickleball, and spending quality time with my family. I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to create a nurturing and enriching environment for all our children.
