MEET OUR STAFF
Ms. Frenchie
Hello and Welcome!
My name is Frenchette Sanders, also lovingly known as Ms. Frenchie. I have the pleasure of serving as the Executive Director of Manifest Academy in Parkville. I’m absolutely delighted that you’re considering us as a place for your child to grow, learn, and thrive!
With over 30 years of hands-on experience in the early childhood education field, I’ve dedicated my life to nurturing young minds and supporting families during these important developmental years. Much of my professional journey was spent as the owner and operator of 10,000 sq. ft. large childcare center, where I gained a deep understanding of what it takes to provide exceptional care, professional environment, and support for children and their families.
​
At Manifest Academy, our mission is to create a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels safe, loved, and inspired to explore. We blend fun with purpose, helping children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. From imaginative play to early academics, every moment is thoughtfully planned with your child’s growth in mind.
​
I take great pride in maintaining the highest standards of care and educational excellence. I’m committed to building strong relationships with families, fostering open communication, and being a supportive partner in your child’s development every step of the way.
Thank you again for your interest in Manifest Academy. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your little one soon!
Warm regards,
Frenchette (Ms. Frenchie)
