Ms. Keatha

School Director

With over 37 years of dedicated experience in early childhood education, I have devoted my career to nurturing young minds and supporting families in our community. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Administration, which has equipped me to lead with both compassion and professionalism. My passion lies in providing high-quality care that goes beyond education—creating a warm, loving environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow. I believe that every child deserves a strong foundation built on love, learning, and trust, and I strive to ensure that our center reflects these values every day. As Director, I am committed to fostering a team of educators who share this vision and to building lasting relationships with the families we serve. Together, we create a place where children thrive, and parents feel confident and have peace of mind every fun filled day.
