As-Salaam-Alaikum/Hello,


I am thrilled to be the Owner of Bees Learning Tree 1 & 2 where I serve in multiple roles including Director at Bees Learning Tree 2 and Classroom Teacher. I believe in the importance of early childhood education and its critical role in the growth of a child's mind and spirit. I am cognizant of the importance of play in the development of a child's cognitive, emotional, and social development. I am excited to have the opportunity to utilize this understanding to help your child thrive during their time at our centers.


I love working with children and seeing them learn and grow.  My love and desire to work with children prompted the desire to go back to school where I was successful in obtaining a Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2009.  In 2021, I obtained my Child Development Associate and Director’s credentials.


In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with those I love. I am married with two children ages 30 and 15. I also have two grandchildren and a daughter in-law.  I really enjoy and love interior design and traveling.  I have been to five areas of North Africa and more than 15 Caribbean islands. My favorite one is Anguilla. It’s a very small, beautiful Island that sits on the British overseas territory in the Caribbean. My future goals include maintaining both centers as Star 4 centers and to start a Head Start or PreK Counts program.


My mission is to maintain a comprehensive quality childcare center where quality learning programs and practitioners offer children a safe and nurturing environment where we support and improve every child outcome. Together with a team of amazing teachers and staff, I am committed to providing your family with a loving and safe foundation for a lifetime of learning.


Nilaja Holmes Rachad.
