The Director
Krista Barrett has over 10 years of experience in the childcare industry and has had a passion for teaching since childhood. She began her journey in the field as an assistant teacher at a large daycare facility and over the years, worked and volunteered at different facilities until becoming an Assistant Director at an Early Learning Center. Through her studies in college and internships at various universities, she realized the need for a more customized learning environment for children.
​
Witnessing how easily children can become lost in the numbers of typical daycare centers, she chose to accept the challenge of starting her own learning home. The micro classroom model, allowed her love for teaching to be individualized for each child. With low ratio classes, more time is dedicated to teacher-student interactions. She believes this allows each child to be better seen, heard and attended to.
