Casey Hanway- Daycare Director
Welcome! My name is Casey Hanway, and I have been blessed to serve in Christian early childhood education for more than 15 years. As the Director of Zion Lutheran Daycare, I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where every child feels loved and encouraged to grow. Before entering childcare, I worked in children's dentistry, where I developed a deep passion for caring for children and supporting families. I have been married to my husband for 22 years, and together we have three wonderful children. Being both a parent and an educator has given me a deep appreciation for the trust families place in us each day. I believe strong partnerships between parents and caregivers help children thrive. My goal is to create a welcoming place where children learn through play, build confidence, form lasting friendships, and grow in their faith. It is an honor to be part of each child's journey, and I look forward to partnering with your family as your child learns, grows, and reaches their God-given potential.

Hello! My name is Laurel Tilzy and I have worked at Zion Lutheran Daycare for 22 years! My family and I are also long time members or Zion Lutheran Church. My husband, Vanni and I have been married for 31 years and we have three wonderful children, including Rachel, who also works here at the daycare. My sons names are Kaden and Cameron. Working here at Zion Lutheran Daycare is important to me because it’s a ministry of our church. Caring for your children has truly been a blessing.
Rachel Tilzy
Hi! My name is Linda, but most of the children know me as "Grandma." I have been blessed to be part of the Zion Lutheran Daycare family since 1993. Throughout the years, I have spent most of my time caring for our nursery children, and watching them grow, learn, and reach new milestones has always been my greatest joy. It is a blessing to be part of their earliest years and to see God's love shine through each child. I have also been fortunate to build lasting relationships with so many wonderful families over the years. I thank God every day for allowing me to do what I love for so long. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my granddaughter.
