❤️ Annie Flynn
Owner / Director / Teacher
I am a wife and mother of five who is deeply committed to faith, family, and children. She resides in Big Lake, Minnesota, where I have dedicated my life to serving families through education and ministry.
I have over 30 years of experience in childcare and hold both a Child Development Certificate and a Child Development Diploma. Her passion for nurturing children began early; she has been involved in children’s ministry since fifth grade and continues to serve faithfully in that capacity today.
I attend church weekly. In addition to my professional and ministry work, I have extensive experience homeschooling, giving me a well-rounded understanding of child development, education, and family dynamics.
I bring a strong foundation of experience, faith-based values, and a lifelong dedication to helping children grow socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically.
My vision for Noah’s Circle of Friends is to create a warm, structured, and joyful environment where children grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually through play-based learning and positive relationships.
❤️ Ruth Flynn
Assistant
I am a dedicated dancer and dance instructor who serves on the Noah’s Circle of Friends team. As the youngest of five children and the only daughter in the family, I bring a warm, nurturing presence and a natural ability to connect with young children.
I was homeschooled and have gained valuable work experience through my employment at Walmart and at a Christian summer camp, where I supported children in structured group activities. My background as a dancer and dance teacher allows me to contribute positively to movement-based learning, coordination, and creative expression within the preschool setting.
As the daughter of the Director and Owner, I have grown up immersed in early childhood environments and understand the importance of professionalism, safety, and positive role modeling. Currently a senior in high school, I have plans to pursue a career in dance and performance.
I am passionate about working with children and supporting their physical, social, and emotional development through age-appropriate movement and creative activities.
I offer private and group dance classes through my own business – Midnight Dance Academy. Noah’s Circle of Friends will be having me teach dance and movement classes once a week.
