Founder & Childcare Director

Hi! I’m Jayci. You know that statistic that says it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert at something? Well, when it comes to parenting, relationships, and family life, I’m clocking more like 100,000 hours!

This whole program is a tapestry woven of the lessons I’ve threaded from each of those many hours, one tiny stitch at a time.
