Party Hostess, Story Time Reader, Character
Ashley is truly a renaissance woman when it comes to entertaining children! Popularly known as the girl with an abundance of energy and amazing face painting skills, Ashley makes Story Time come alive every week with her fun and imaginative renditions of popular children’s stories. It is this whimsical attitude that also enables her to embody popular storybook characters for our birthday parties and special events—if you have had the chance to see her in action you will know that she never breaks character and is consistently delightful in doing so. Having attended art schools throughout her entire life, she also enjoys anything art-related and finds it a joy to share her passion with others, especially children.
In addition to her work at Lollipop Dream, Ashley has previously hosted children’s parties in her home state of Florida—doing anything from balloon art to creating life-size trees out of crafting materials. She also currently maintains the title of Painting Department Head for American Make-Up and Effects and has worked on special effects make-up for small films, commercials, and music videos.

Mommy & Me Teacher, Party Hostess, Story Time Reader, Character
Alyson has been working at Lollipop Dream since it's opening at the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square and has loved every minute of it! Perhaps as well-rounded as they come, Alyson boasts talents across the board for hosting events for children of any age. On any given day of the week you may find her teaching little ones how to freeze dance (a must-have skill for all kids, we might add), singing silly songs to just-out-of-the-oven little ones in our Mommy & Me Class, or even hosting only the fanciest of tea parties during our Afternoon Tea as Mrs. Applebottom Pinkerton.
Alyson has a definite passion for working with children that anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting her can see. For all that she does at Lollipop Dream, Alyson comes to us with a B.A. in Theatre and over seven years of camp counseling experience for drama camps, day camps, and baby classes. She has also previously been involved in a number of improv troupes, has appeared as a regular at the National Comedy Theatre in San Diego, and currently trains at the Groundlings in Los Angeles.

A true delight to be around, Misty has been with Lollipop Dream since it’s opening at Sherman Oaks Fashion Square. A perfectly blended mix of pep and poise embody what she’s all about – one day you may see her sportin’ a fun sequin-covered hat and breaking out her best fashion diva pose, and another you are likely to find her elegantly gracing our presence as your little one’s favorite princess in blue.
Misty comes to us with a minor in Theatre and has previously co-directed kids’ summer theatre camps for five years. Currently she also volunteers her time assisting in the classroom of first graders when she visits her home state of Florida.

As the newest addition to the Lollipop Dream family, Brooke is already well on her way to becoming a seasoned Lollipop Dream pro! Never one to be shy of jumping right in, Brooke’s talents and ambition are what enable her to help host the perfect party for your little one. Perhaps it is her professional training as an Esthetician that makes her so pleasant to be around, however we like to think it’s our cheerful ambiance that gives her such a friendly glow.
Brooke may be new to our family, however she has worked with kids for the past three years in theatre and as a nanny. Brooke holds an Associate of Arts Degree in Acting from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, has trained in acting with the Upright Citizens Brigade of Los Angeles (an improvisational comedy theatre), and has appeared in a number of theatre productions and independent films.

Cathy absolutely loves teaching early childhood music. Growing up in a musical family, Cathy has enjoyed a passion for music for as long as she can remember.
Cathy has sung on many recordings, for films and documentaries, performed live with various singer-songwriters, and currently performs with the Perfomance Collective. Cathy loves that she is sharing this passion with young people and hopes that it is something that they will enjoy throughout their lives.
Cathy's other love is children. She was a preschool teacher for 4 years, and is now enjoying the best job of her life, being a mom! She has an enthusiasm and silliness that are contagious with adults and children alike!
