Carole Cather Owner of Petite Journey
With a fervent passion for children and 12 years of experience as a dedicated preschool teacher and childcare provider, I am excited to open the doors to my family daycare. My journey in the field of early childhood education, has been a heartfelt exploration of the incredible potential each child holds. The joy of witnessing their growth, the sparkle of curiosity in their eyes, and the bonds formed have fueled my dedication. These experiences have driven me to establish my own family daycare, where I can provide a warm, enriching environment for young children. At Petite Journey, we celebrate the uniqueness of each child, fostering not only knowledge but also confidence, empathy, and a lifelong love for learning. I am excited to go on this new journey of nurturing young minds and touching children’s lives.
Testimonials
Carole is a truly exceptional childcare provider. Her passion for working with children shines most with the fun and meaningful experiences she creates for those in her charge. Carole’s work ethic and commitment to safety makes parents feel confident that their child is in expert hands. Carole’s bilingual approach to childcare was invaluable for my son as a reinforcement to the French he hears at home.
