Yvonne Dahlberg founded Mill Brook Kindergarten and Preschool in 1986, and Janine King took the reins as owner soon afterwards. Together with her daughters, Justine Sutton and Emily Vieira, and the rest of the staff, Janine has been providing a nurturing educational environment for children from infancy to preschool since 1996. 

Emily Vieira is now taking on the role of director, and is eager to return to the place she calls “home.” Emily has been an experienced Kindergarten teacher in the Wilmington public school system for the past 12 years, and is excited to bring her expertise to Mill Brook. With her passion for educating young children, Emily is sure to be an asset to the Mill Brook community.
