Kaitlyn, Lead Teacher at Little Cove Early Learning

Meet Little Cove

A small team built around care, consistency, and connection.

The center’s warm feel starts with the people inside it. Joie leads Little Cove with a deeply personal vision for local families, while Kaitlyn brings classroom experience and an encouraging presence to the children she teaches.

Owner & Manager

Joie

Joie is the owner and manager behind Little Cove Early Learning. The center grew from something she prayed for, worked toward, and dreamed about: a warm, dependable place where Mount Ida families could feel confident leaving their little ones each day.

She has guided the building, classroom setup, enrollment process, and every small detail with a hands-on approach. Her goal is not to create a large, impersonal daycare. It is to build a close-knit early learning center where children feel known and families feel welcome.

Her role

Center leadership, family communication, operations, and the day-to-day Little Cove vision.

Her focus

A safe, faith-based, personal environment built thoughtfully for local families.
