Hi, my name is Heather Stockdale and I am the Coordinator and Child Educator for Fillmore Central ECFE. I live in Preston with my husband, Scott, and our two sons, Brendan and Judah. We love watching movies and visiting new places together.
Before joining ECFE, I was a nanny in Seattle, WA for 3 years, then I taught preschool for 3 years in Bothell, WA, just outside of Seattle. I have also directed the Nursery and preschool age classes in my church as well as coordinated our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) program.
I am very excited about our ECFE program and am looking forward to the fun events and activities we have planned this year! I hope you are able to join us!

My name is Sonia Bockoven and I am the Parent Educator for Fillmore Central’s ECFE Program. I grew up in Harmony, graduating from Fillmore Central and moved back to the area after living in Iowa for 12 years. Nine of those years I taught preschool in 4-5 year old programs or 3-5 year old inclusive settings. All people are unique and bring their own strengths and perspectives to our lives together. I love how children learn through play, explore our world, and share their energy and excitement.
My husband Kurt and our four children enjoy time outside as well as cooking and playing games. It seems the kids are always building, moving and playing! Reading and playing piano are two of my favorite hobbies.
I look forward to sharing and learning together as we help our children grow and discover more about themselves and our world.
