Familiar Treehouse Faces

get to know our leaders and child care providers. You will always see one of these faces around.

Nicole Johnson
Founder and Executive Director 

The Community Treehouse was founded in 2019 by Nicole Johnson and  Melissa Juliano with the hope of creating a place where families in Bayfield feel welcomed, supported, and connected.

 

A place where parents can take a breath, children can play and grow, and community happens naturally.

​

With more than 30 years of experience working with children and families, Nicole’s true passion is supporting parents through the joys and challenges of raising young children. Originally from the Netherlands, she has called Bayfield home for the past 25 years, where she lives with her husband and daughter.

Today, the Treehouse is shaped by the families who walk through its doors—parents supporting one another, volunteering, learning together, and building a caring community. Together, we are strengthening Bayfield, one family at a time.

Ashleigh Bennett
Conscious Discipline
Parenting class facilitator  

I am a wife and mom of 3 kiddos - Tristan, Jace, and Stevie. I have been a member of the Treehouse since the beginning and appreciate the space as well as all the programs that have helped my family and met so many wonderful people.

 

I love sunshine, the outdoors, cooking, baseball, and juicy conversations.

 

My goal is to help the Treehouse continue to provide fun, educational, and supportive programs that strengthen our community and create opportunities to meet and connect with other parents.

 

I have a background in Early Childhood Education from in-home daycare, toddler teacher, preschool teacher as well as parent education. I have a passion for people and love creating environments for fun and a place to get to know one another.

Ms. Renni 
Kidcare provider 

My name in Renni and I have been living in Bayfield for over 7 years. Originally from South Dakota, I fell instantly in love with the mountains when I attended college at Fort Lewis. I am a Mama of 2 and enjoy working kid care to keep myself young at heart and to encourage active play with all the kiddies!

Ms. Susie
Kidcare provider  

I started babysitting at age 11 and absolutely love working with children! I home schooled my kids all the way through. I love to see kids learn new things & grow. It is a blessing & privilege to play with all the Tiny Darlings here at the Treehouse! Thank you for trusting me with your little ones.

Ms. Aline
Kidcare provider 

I’m a mom of two, and I’ve always had a love for kids, crafts, and animals (dogs are the best!). I’m new to the area and currently living with family, but I’ve really found a second home at the Treehouse.

Ms. Jessica 

Kidcare provider 

I am a mom of 3 and we love to be outside with our animals. We have cats, dogs and chickens! Originally from Alaska, we try and make it back often as where that is where much of my side of the family still lives.
I taught kindergarten for four years here in Bayfield and love being here at the treehouse around kiddos again!
