Founder

Trinette is the Founder and owner of Ballard Youth Creative {BYC}, where she has created a Reggio Emilia-inspired environment that nurtures curiosity, independence, and self-expression. With a strong belief in child-led learning, Trinette fosters an atmosphere where children are seen as leaders in their own lives, encouraged to explore, question, and discover the world around them. She creates a space that reflects the child’s image, fostering independence, communication, and creativity while supporting their emotional and intellectual growth.

Every day, BYC is fun and full of opportunities for exploration. Whether through creative play, theater, photography, nature walks, or hands-on projects, she ensures that each child’s natural curiosity is celebrated and supported. Trinette is passionate about connecting children with each other, their community, and the environment, believing that these connections are essential to their growth. Her thoughtful approach and dedication to making learning joyful makes BYC a place where children can thrive as they develop into confident, thoughtful individuals.
