Faith-Based Early Childhood Development & Child Care in Owasso, OK
Staff
Hi, I am Mrs. Forst! Aaron and I have been married for 15 years, we have 2 beautiful children and we fostered 3 kids. I am a registered nurse & my bedside specialty was Adult Intensive Care. I have also worked as the Sr. Manager of an Insurance Company, managing over 60 nurses & most recently designing IT systems for nurses to use. I have always had a passion for education for my patients, myself & my children. After utilizing childcare as a working mother & a foster mom for many years, that passion for education was amplified into the need for quality education for our young children. Granny & Dot's was born after many conversations, drawings on scratch pads, & a push from God to make a change. When I am not at the center you can find me singing on the worship team at my church, reading a good Karen Kingsbury book, or enjoying a wonderful dessert! I also enjoy martial arts & spending time in the bible.

Hi, I am Mr. Forst. I am Adrienne's husband. I started my career as an EMT & later went into Biomedical Engineer. I have always had a passion for business and decided to start my own company and became self employed in 2016. I never knew God would make me just as passionate about children and education. I have had the opportunity to work with several politicians on education and childcare reform. I love volunteering at my church and I love anything & everything to do with motorsports. My favorites are Supercross and F1 racing. In my free time you might find me under the hood of my hotrod, riding my motorcycle, or practicing martial arts with my wife and kids (I hold a black belt in Tae Kwon-Do). Fun fact about me, I was on the Price is Right in 2008 & won a car. I also won a motorcycle in 2011.

Hi, I'm Ms. Garvin. I have 5 wonderful children, my three children and two step kids. I have 4 boys and one girl...needless to say, she is very spoiled and well protected! When I'm not working you can always find me at the ball fields or court. We are a super busy sports family who love football, baseball, soccer and basketball. I love the outdoors; hiking, fishing and camping. I have my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and am working on my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. I have always had a passion for working with children and have worked in many different roles for over 20 years. I hope to bring my experience here to Granny and Dot's and create a welcoming environment where children can thrive and grow while learning and having fun!

Hi, I’m Mrs. Jackson! My husband, David, and I have five kids between us and a beautiful new grandson we are absolutely head over heels in love with! I’m a big nature lover and find my peace among the trees, rivers, rocks, and bugs. There’s always something wonderful to discover if you slow down and look!
I’ve spent my life in and out of childcare, taking a break along the way to raise my own amazing kiddos. I joined Granny & Dot’s as a preschool teacher in 2025, and I’m excited to now serve as Assistant Director. I love getting to know children and all the little things that make them who they are. I believe in learning through play, making room for silliness, and helping children feel safe and loved as they navigate big feelings and new experiences. I’m happy to be here, building relationships with our families and supporting the teachers who put so much heart into each day!
