My name is Elsie Chavez. I love spending time with my family, my cat and my dog. During the summer I spend my free-time gardening, and reading. I have always had a passion for working with children. I believe that every child should be treated with respect. I have had the privilege of being a part of the Meadows family since 2010. I love doing art projects and science experiments with the children. Watching the children learn, grow and gain independence is one of the best parts of my job.
