With a lifelong passion for childcare and education, Diana has dedicated her career to creating nurturing environments where children can thrive. As the oldest of five, her caretaker instincts developed early, leading her to work as a nanny for four years with multiple families.

 

She later pursued a background in early childhood education, becoming an Early Childhood Education Specialist and working with nonprofit organizations to support children who have experienced trauma.

​

In addition to her professional experience, Diana has served in children's ministry for over a decade, specializing in infant and toddler education. She currently leads as the Children's Ministry Director, further deepening her commitment to fostering growth, learning, and emotional well-being in young children.

​

As a mother of four, Diana has also embraced homeschooling, guiding her children from preschool through sixth grade. This firsthand experience gives her a unique perspective on early education, equipping her to create a learning environment that is both structured and nurturing.

 

Diana founded Arrows Academy with the vision of providing a safe, enriching space where children can develop confidence, creativity, and a love for learning. Her hands-on experience and deep understanding of early childhood development ensure that every child at Arrows Academy is cared for with excellence and intentionality.

With over 20 years of experience in education and youth advocacy, Abraham has dedicated his life to mentoring and supporting young people.

​

Now a father of four and the senior pastor of a local church in Southwest Portland, Abraham continues to pour into the lives of young people, equipping them with the tools they need to grow and succeed.
