Our center
It is our goal to ensure that children are cared for and educated in a way to inspire a love of learning that continues throughout their educational journey. We believe by choosing to enroll your child/ren at our center, you have taken the first step towards laying down a foundation for learning. Our caring and responsive educators create the family-type environment at our early learning center. This is fundamental to children feeling secure, relaxed, and happy. We work collaboratively with families to encourage your child to become independent, creative, curious, and active learners in life.

Biography
My name is Joseph Frendo, and I am the Executive Center Director for Imagine Early Education & Childcare in Tulsa, OK.
Though not a native Okie, my family and I moved to Tulsa in late 2020 from Michigan and have absolutely fallen in love with the city. Our Imagine community has played a big role in that. My two children attend the center as well, and we’ve made so many strong connections throughout our time at Imagine!
I graduated from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, MI, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. Working with children has always been my passion. Prior to joining the Imagine team, I held various roles in both the child welfare and elementary education fields, giving me a holistic understanding of children and their development across different age groups, developmental stages, and the many other factors that make each child unique. I believe this background provides me with a valuable perspective on how we can best serve our families and community.
As both a parent and an employee, Imagine holds a special place in my heart. After serving as the Assistant Director here for the past three years, I am honored to continue leading our campus with the quality and consistency of care that has become the standard here.
