Meet Ericka

With a heart rooted in love and a lifelong passion for nurturing children, my journey in early childhood education began as a preschool teacher, where I spent three wonderful years discovering the joy of guiding young minds. After the birth of my third child, I felt the call to return, stepping into the role of Preschool Director for four years.

 

During this time, my husband Joe joined the mission, supporting the center through his contracting work. What began as service soon blossomed into a family venture… JP & Sons Contracting Inc… which since 1997 has been blessed to build, renovate, and maintain schools and childcare centers in over 25 states.

 

We have been honored to serve institutions such as Kindercare, Knowledge Learning Corp, Glendale School District, and the Arizona Head Start Program. Yet beyond the buildings, my true calling has always been the soul of the child. As an Advanced Theta Healing Practitioner and Level II Practitioner with The Academy of Divine Ministry, I walk in faith and intuition, weaving spiritual principles into every aspect of my work. At Loveland, this means creating an environment where children feel deeply seen, loved, and connected.. to nature, to each other, and to God’s creation.

 

From motherhood to grand-motherhood, my life’s path has been guided by the belief that children learn best through love itself. Loveland is not just a school; it is sacred ground where hearts are nurtured, souls are uplifted, and every child is invited into the beautiful journey of self-discovery and connection with the world around them.
