Megan Olson -  My name is Megan Olson and I am the Director for Little Victories Child Center.   Just to give you a little history on me. I am from Spokane WA, my family and I just moved to Forest Lake this past May. My husband and I have two children; Kambell, 2 1/2 who attends Little Victories and Hayden, 5 who is in Kindergarten.  I have been in the child care profession for most of my working life. Before leaving Spokane I was the Director of a full-day program for the last six years. I had also worked as a Pre-Kindergarten Teacher prior to that for four years.

In my spare time I love cooking, traveling and spending time with my family.
