Jordan Savage

Assistant Director & Mentor Teacher

Jordan’s work centers on his belief that young children and adults are remarkably similar to each other. They both get swept away by the magic of learning. They enjoy many complex relationships. They sometimes fall short in making the best choices. They have unanswerable questions.  They are more alike than different.

Jordan grew up here and received all of his education in Durham, including his degree from Durham Technical Community College in Early Childhood Education. He began working full-time in the classroom with preschoolers in 2012 and was part of the founding team that launched Wildflower Cottage. Jordan enjoys being a part of this diverse community with so many perspectives and interests.

Jordan finds Wildflower Cottage to be a place of boundless freedom where he can experience life alongside children, rather than controlling outcomes. He views this position as both rewarding and humbling, given the opportunity to play a small part in each child’s life story.

Fun Facts:

• Jordan’s grandparents married in 1940, had 10 children, and their family grew to 136 members.  The younger generations continue to gather annually for an Oak Island vacation and monthly to celebrate birthdays.
