About me
My inspiration came from my children being in childcare at a young age. Throughout the years of watching them grow & develop, I decided that something needed to change. I opened up several childcare facilities starting from an in-home childcare provider. I began to evolve and decided to level-up. My inspiration further stems from a deep passion for nurturing young minds and empowering educators. I recognized a need for high-quality, enriching environments for children, along with the desire to support and elevate other professionals dedicated to the children's growth. Therefore, by combining childcare services with the streamline of professional development programs, I aim to create a system that benefits both children and the individuals who help shape their early experiences.
A rewarding journey in childcare and professional development
As a business owner for over 25 years in the early childhood arena and CEO of three childcare facilities (Little Angels Childcare Development Center in Raeford, NC; Garden of Eden Childcare & Developmental Center in Raeford, NC; Little Angels Childcare & Developmental Center II in Fayetteville, NC), I have extensive experience as an Early Childhood Educator and Training Instructor (Basic School-Age Care, Infant& Toddler Sudden Death Syndrome, Playground Safety). My education includes: Sandhills Community College-associate in human services technology, Fayetteville Tech. Community College- associate in early childhood, and Ashford University- Bachelor of Arts Early Childhood Education in the College of Education.
Our mission
I hope that parents will gain a peace of mind knowing their child is in a safe, nurturing, loving, and educational program that helps them reach their developmental milestones. I want parents to receive support and resources through community networking and to find us reliable and flexible in meeting their family needs. I hope that educators will receive enhanced knowledge and skills to assist them in improving child development outcomes, gain professional development training to assist in career advancement and job satisfaction, and benefit from networking and collaboration, understanding new standards, and the use of technologies.
