Meet our owner, Ms. Andrea!
Ms. Andrea Tavares is more than just the Director of Pleasant Time Learning Center—she is someone who truly loves being around children and making learning fun! As the daughter of the late Roseann Tavares, who founded Pleasant Time Learning Center in 1993, Andrea grew up with a deep appreciation for the importance of giving children a happy, nurturing, and exciting place to learn and grow.
With over 20 years of experience in the childcare field, Ms. Andrea has experienced just about every role there is! She began as a volunteer and worked her way through the ranks as an assistant, teacher, lead teacher, and eventually Center Director. This experience has given her a special understanding of what it takes to create a wonderful experience for both children and families.

Ms. Andrea has a true passion for education, and believes learning should never feel boring! She loves finding ways to mix learning, creativity, music, art, movement, and plenty of fun into each day. Whether she is singing a silly song, creating an art project, dancing with the children, or joining them in play, Ms. Andrea believes that some of the best learning happens when children are having fun.
Above all, Ms. Andrea wants every child who walks through the doors of Pleasant Time to feel loved, welcomed, safe, and excited to come to school each day. She works hard to make every day filled with laughter, discovery, and special memories.
Continuing the legacy started by her mother, Ms. Andrea is proud to carry on Roseann’s belief in developing the whole child through a balance of structure, learning, and play—while adding her own love of fun and creativity along the way!
