Meet Our Teachers
Owner/Director: Caitlyn Della Pelle
Caitlyn started her Early Childhood career over 10 years ago and has since then earned her degree in Early Childhood Education. Following a number of experiences in child-care centers, it became apparent to her that she wanted to run her own facility because it allowed her to express her unique, creative personality!
It is Caitlyn's goal to build a strong sense of community within her school, because family is a very important part of a child's upbringing, and she believes that parent involvement is crucial to a child's success.
Despite being a busy mom to six children, Caitlyn loves to keep busy as much as possible. She enjoys doing arts and crafts with her children and decorating the house with decorative pieces!
