About us:
Welcome to Campus Childcare!
We’re Michael and Paige Sanchez, the proud owners and operators of Campus Childcare, and we’re so happy you’ve chosen us to care for your little ones. As parents of two kids—and as foster parents to children in our community—we understand how important it is to find a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can truly thrive.
About seven years ago, we moved to Southern Oregon to put down roots and embrace this amazing community. Life keeps us busy in the best ways: between raising our kids, fostering, and running Campus Childcare, our home is always full of laughter (and the occasional chaos!).
Michael holds a full-time career in law enforcement, which means safety and structure are always a priority in everything we do. Paige brings years of experience as a nurse with a focus in critical care and end of life, providing a strong foundation for attentive, compassionate care. Together, we’ve built Campus Childcare on the values we live by every day: kindness, excellence, and doing what’s right.
We’re also incredibly proud of the team we’ve brought together. Our staff is the heart of Campus Childcare, and we ensure they’re equipped with up-to-date training in teaching methods, caregiving techniques, and safety practices. Most importantly, they’re people who share our passion for children and our commitment to creating a positive, nurturing environment for every child.
At Campus Childcare, we aim to be more than just a daycare. We’ve worked hard to create a space where your children can grow, learn, play, and feel safe—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in trusted hands.
Thank you for choosing us to be part of your child’s journey. We can’t wait to welcome you into the Campus Childcare family!
Warmly,
Michael and Paige Sanchez

Hello, I'm Sarah Perea, and I've spent the majority of my life in southern Oregon. Growing up in a large family of eleven, I've been involved in caring for young children throughout my life. As a mother, I understand the significance of finding a nurturing environment that upholds the same high standards as a parent. My journey into parenthood took a new turn in 2017 when I became a mother to my daughter, Finely. Embracing my passion, I began my career as a nanny in 2021, with Finely by my side.
My approach revolves around helping children learn through play, encouraging their imagination, promoting kindness, and, above all, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and at home. The decision to pursue a full-time career in childcare stems from my desire to provide the highest level of care, mirroring what I would want for my own daughter.
Caring for your child at Campus Childcare is not just a job but an honor that I deeply appreciate.
Hello! I'm Taylor, and I am thrilled to be joining the team at Campus Childcare! Growing up in the scenic surroundings of Grants Pass, Oregon has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the outdoors, which I'm eager to share with the children here. Exploring nature, trying new foods, and embarking on adventures are some of my favorite pastimes, and I can't wait to bring that sense of excite- ment into our childcare environment.
My journey with childcare began early, as I've spent years babysitting and volun- teering at daycares and schools. It's been a joy to witness the growth and devel- opment of young minds, and I'm grateful that I can now call it my profession. In addition to my role here at Campus Childcare, I also have the privilege of teach- ing swimming lessons at Club NorthWest to children ages 3-11. Beyond just improving their swim techniques, I focus on instilling confidence in the water and practicing essential water safety skills.
One of the things I love most about working with children is the opportunity to learn from them as much as I teach. Each child brings a unique personality and perspective, making every day a new and exciting adventure. Their creativity, curiosity, and resilience never cease to amaze me. Simply put, kids are the coolest people around!
In my free time, I cherish moments with my significant other and our beloved dog, who has been a part of our family for 16 wonderful years. But I'm always eager to return to the childcare setting, where I can continue to nurture young minds and hearts. I'm looking forward to meeting new faces, caring for more children, and embarking on this fulfilling journey at Campus Childcare!
Hi, I’m Solange—You Can Call Me Sol!
I’ve always believed that my life started as a miracle. I was born two months early, and at first, I couldn’t drink or feed properly. One day, a kind nurse moved my incubator to a window where the sunlight was shining through. Almost like magic, I was able to drink right away, as if the sun gave me the strength I needed. From that day on, everyone called me Sol, and it’s been a part of who I am ever since.
I was born in Ecuador—what I think is the most beautiful country in the world—and I’ve carried my love for its culture, food, and warmth with me everywhere I go. I’m also a proud mom to my sweet 7-year-old son, Carlitos, who has taught me the truest and purest kind of love there is.
I’m a pastry chef, so I love cooking and creating. I also love the mountains, but the ocean has my heart. Exploring the world and learning new things makes me feel alive.
Working with children has always been something that comes naturally to me. It never feels like work because I genuinely enjoy it. I believe children are the future of the world, and it’s our responsibility to respect, admire, love, and care for them every single day.
Being able to take care of your children will be one of my greatest blessings. I’m so excited to learn and grow with them, and I’m truly honored to be part of the Campus Childcare family. I can’t wait to share my Spanish language and my culture with your little ones and to bring a little bit of sunshine into their days—just like the sun did for me.
Thank you for trusting me. I can’t wait to meet you and your children!

Hello! I'm Hannah Snook, and I'm thrilled to be joining the Campus Childcare team here in beautiful Grants Pass, Oregon. My passion for working with children runs deep, and there's nothing quite as fulfilling as witnessing their boundless curiosity and growth each day. I take great joy in celebrating each child's unique individuality and personality, as it's a privilege to be part of their journey and serve as a positive role model. While I'm dedicated to providing exceptional childcare, I'm also focused on advancing my education in nursing, currently completing my prerequisites. This dual pursuit not only enhances my ability to care for children but also underscores my commitment to their well-being and development. Outside of work and studies, you'll often find me exploring the great outdoors, whether it's hiking through scenic trails or enjoying picnics in the park. And when I'm not outdoors, I cherish spending quality time with my cherished family and friends, creating lasting memories and moments of laughter together. I'm eager to bring my enthusiasm, dedication, and love for children to Campus Childcare, where I'm dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where every child can thrive and flourish.
