About Us

This past summer we renewed our DCF license for the fifth time. Over the last five years we have poured our hearts into creating what Kids & Colors is today. With enrollment of 50+ each year our daycare is filled to capacity with infants, toddlers and preschoolers. We are so thankful each day for the ability to run a program that services our community.

If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that I’d own a daycare center, I would have laughed. I never imagined how amazing things could turn out, but nonetheless here I am. My first job out of High School I worked in a playgroup as an assistant teacher. That’s where I realized how passionate I felt about supporting young children in their foundational years.

I decided to get a bachelor's degree in Psychology to help me understand the children I worked with better. I started teaching my own class a couple years later. I loved stepping into the role of teacher and being the reason children thrived in school. I chose to get a Master's degree in Educational Leadership knowing I’d want to step into a leadership role someday. 

My goal is to spread my love and passion for teaching young children to my staff and inspire them to bring that same excitement into their classrooms. I want our classrooms to be places where both children and teachers can grow, thrive, and have fun along the way. Although I run the business of Kids & Colors in my “free time” I haven’t given up being in the classroom. I show up each day ready for giggles, big hugs, and lots of fun with my 2-3-year-old class. Every day is a new adventure, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Before joining the colorful world of childcare, I earned my degree in Business Management from Touro College and worked in nonprofit management, where I learned the ins and outs of budgeting, organization, and keeping things running smoothly. Eight years ago, when the youngest was born, I decided to trade in the business world for a much more colorful one and made a career change into early childhood education.

It turns out that managing a business and managing a room full of toddlers have more in common than you might think! Both require patience, multitasking, problem-solving, and the occasional deep breath. 

Along the way, I’ve completed additional training and coursework in early childhood education and childcare management, earning my Florida DCF Director Credential. 

I love combining my business background with my passion for working with children to help create a place where families feel at home, teachers feel supported, and little ones have the space to learn, grow, and thrive. As a mother of four, I also bring my own personal experience and love of children into everything I do. 

Who knew my biggest career adventure would come with so many tiny shoes and big personalities?
