Violet Walton, Owner and Founder Welcome to our childcare center! My name is Violet Walton, and I am the proud owner and founder. With over 30 years of experience in early childhood education, I have dedicated my life to nurturing and educating young minds. I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education, which have provided me with a deep understanding of child development and the best practices in early learning.
My journey in childcare began three decades ago, driven by a passion for creating a safe, engaging, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of seeing countless children grow, learn, and achieve their milestones under our care. My extensive experience has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide exceptional care and education tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Ashley Walton, Co-Owner and Director Joining me in this fulfilling journey is my daughter, Ashley Walton, who serves as the Co-Owner and Director of our center. Ashley brings a fresh perspective and a wealth of knowledge to our team. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and has over 10 years of experience in the field.
Ashley has been instrumental in incorporating innovative teaching methods and modern educational tools into our curriculum.
