I am very excited to be the principal at the Early Learning Center!  I come to the ELC from being the principal at Cascade Elementary School for the past 6 years.  I have seen the ELC grow in size and the students who came to Cascade from this program have been noticeably well prepared for kindergarten.  I feel fortunate to continue my career by working with great teachers, staff and wonderful Marysville families. Stop by to say hi!

My husband and I have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren ranging in ages from 12 to 2 years old.  It is amazing to see them grow and develop into fine young people.  They are close to my heart and are a reminder of the joy and challenges of parenting in these tough times.  I try to help as much as possible and have learned that sometimes the best help is to simply listen.

Please reach out to me or any of our caring staff at ELC if you have a need.  We know that an essential part of caring for your child is caring for the family as well. 

Thank you,

Alene Arakawa
