Luc began his career working in the public school system and transitioned to early childhood education: working his way up from teacher to assistant director and then to an owner when he purchased Parkview Early Learning Center in North Spokane. He is a founder of Washington Childcare Centers Association and Northeast Youth & Family Services, and actively advocates for children, youth, and families in Washington state. Luc also runs Jasmin and Associates, LLC (dba Jasmin Group), a bookkeeping and business consultation company primarily serving small businesses in the Spokane area and is the Eastern WA Representative for Governor Inslee’s office. Growing up a first-generation Haitian-American propelled him to understand and focus on, among other factors: equity, racial bias, and cultural differences. His goal is to create a solid foundation in which all youth can be successful; regardless of their of racial background, religious affiliation, economic standing or any other lived experiences.

Why do you work for PV?

I enjoy teaching, kids, and have a strong interest in the science and research around equal access to early childhood education. Shortly after my first daughter was born I was hired by Luc in 2015 to help out with the school age summer program. The next summer I was the lead teach for the summer program then shortly after I started working as the program supervisor for Parkview while I pursued my design degree at EWU.

Upon graduating Luc and my fellow coworkers pushed me to continue chasing my passion for design I have since worked in multiple facets of the design industry (and even became a dog trainer for a couple years as well). I continued to work for Parkview on a part-time and freelance basis until an opportunity arose for me to come back full-time.

I was excited to return on a full-time basis and to be around the Parkview environment again because everyone is extremely supportive and uplifting.
