Our Cultivate Classroom Creed

We are kind, we use nice hands,
We help our friends and share our plans!

We try our best in work and play,
We listen to what others say!

We are brave, we learn, we grow -
We love our class and help it glow!

Hello, my name is Ruth Shelton, and helping young children learn and grow has been the joy of my life for the past 27 years.My experience includes working as a childcare provider, center director, and preschool teacher, and I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education along the way. I am passionate about helping children build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning in a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and excited to thrive.Originally from Nevada, I have happily called Vernal home for the past 15 years. I am also a proud mom of four, so life is often full of sports schedules, busy activities, and cheering from the sidelines. When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me supporting my kids and enjoying every moment of their adventures.
