Meet Our Team

With backgrounds in a range of disciplines, our team is united by a shared passion for collaboration, the arts, and creating a better future for our students.

Jayne Rose-Vallee

Jayne Rose-Vallee, Founder

Jayne is an award-winning author and publisher of children’s books, with a knack for making stories come alive.

Through her rhyming verses and vibrant watercolor illustrations, she’s seen just how much the arts can ignite a child’s imagination and love for learning. She’s passionate about the connection between creativity and literacy—because let’s face it, when kids are excited to learn, amazing things happen.

Driven by her enthusiasm for working with kids, Jayne founded Literacy for Kids, a non-profit that brings her vision to life on a larger scale. By teaming up with donors, mentors, and partners, her mission is clear: one person can spark change, but a whole community can make an even bigger impact.

For Jayne, it’s all about inspiring creativity, fostering a love of learning, and proving that imagination is a game-changer in education.

Collaboration is the way forward. To build an alliance between select authors and educators creates a powerful environment. The human connection is everything.
