Hello, My name is Mindy. I have been working in child care since I was 16 years old. It has always been my passion to watch young children grow and flourish in an academic setting. I have been with La Petite for 13 years and I could not be happier! A fun fact about me is that I have a 13 year old daughter that is the light of my life. She has attended La Petite Academy since she was three months old. I look forward to watching our La Petite family grow!
