Tara Cassidy

Director/owner

I have been working in childcare for the last 22 years. During those years, I’ve specialized in both early childhood development and preschool readiness with a focus in special education. The last 6 years I have practiced as an RBT for Pediatric Therapy Clinic, affording me the opportunity to grow further as a child care professional. It brings me much joy to influence the children in my care. Their growth, development, and bonds created with peers is something that brings me great pride. I was born and raised in Helena MT, and have lived in Butte since 2003.My husband Brandon and I have 7 children combined…so staying busy comes naturally!We enjoy watching our kids school and athletic events, hiking, traveling, and skiing. I am thrilled to expand my relationships within our community and I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to offer exceptional care for your little ones!

Brooke Vallance

Teacher/owner

I was born and raised in Helena, Montana and have been working in Butte since 2018. Child growth and development has always been a passion of mine! I’ve been working in childcare since 2015. I worked as a para at Four Georgians elementary school until I started college at The University of Montana Western where I graduated with my associates degree in 2018. I have experience working in the daycare setting, Montessori school, and most recently worked as a registered behavior technician (RBT) for the last four years at Pediatric Therapy Clinic. My daughter and I love exploring Montana! We enjoy spending time kayaking, hiking, and camping with our family and dogs! I’m incredibly excited for this new opportunity to further connect with the Butte community!

Ashley Neighbor

Teacher/owner

My name is Ashley Neighbor and I have been working with kids for the last 20 years. Throughout the last 20 years I have taught preschool, after school, and worked as a daycare provider throughout Butte. During this time I completed my CDA (childhood development associate’s) as well as my associate’s degree in social work. The last 5 years I have practiced as an RBT for Pediatric Therapy Clinic providing me the opportunity to grow further as a childcare professional. I am a mother of two children who are involved in multiple sports and activities within Butte. I enjoy spending time with my family at our cabin at Georgetown lake. We love spending time hiking, fishing and kayaking. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to provide services to the children at Copper City Childcare!

Kambrea West

Teacher/owner

My name is Kambrea, I’ve been working with children for the last seven years as a childcare provider, as well as an RBT, and have grown to develop a strong passion for working with children. I currently am attending college courses to earn my Bachelor’s degree in early childhood education pre-k through 3rd grade, to further my education of children’s developmental growth. I was born in Spokane, WA but grew up in Butte a majority of my life. I have grown to love the community I live in with my partner and our dog, my loving family, and my amazing friends. Outside of caring for children, I enjoy spending my weekends out camping, riding side-by sides, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family! I am so excited to build new connections with the children and families of Copper City Childcare, and can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
