Mrs. Carrie

Director

Hello! I'm Carrie, and I'm thrilled to serve as the childcare director at The Learning Tree Child Development Center. With over 12 years of experience in early childhood education, I'm dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and enriching environment for young minds to thrive. 


In 2012, I joined The Learning Tree as a toddler teacher. I developed a passion for working with young children, encouraging their growth and development. In 2016, I received my Child Development Associate Credential for Preschool. In 2018, after working with all ages, I took over as director. I am a lifelong learner and committed to staying current with the latest research and best practices in early childhood education. 


When I’m not at The Learning Tree, I serve as director of children’s ministry for my church, working with preschoolers through sixth graders. 


It's a privilege to be part of your child's journey at The Learning Tree Child Development Center. Together, let's create a nurturing and inspiring environment where every child can flourish!
