About the Teacher
My name is Ms. Courtney
My name is Ms. Courtney, and I’m the proud mother of three young girls. Before choosing to stay at home with my children, I devoted my career to working with young learners—from infants to school-age children. I began my journey as an Assistant Teacher in a multi-age daycare classroom, and over the years, I grew within the field of Early Childhood Education.
My passion led me to roles in teaching, curriculum development, and educator training. I earned my degree in Education and obtained my Early Childhood Education certification. Eventually, I became the Director of a large corporate learning center—a role I cherished until stepping away to prepare for the arrival of my first child.
Though I shifted my focus to raising my own children, my dedication to Early Childhood Education never faded. That love and passion have inspired me to create a special program designed for you and your child to enjoy together—a nurturing, engaging space built on years of experience and heart.
Inspiration
Meet my Family
When my family relocated to North Carolina just before the pandemic, I found myself suddenly in a new place—with a baby girl in my arms and two preschool-aged children by my side. As the world slowly reopened, I longed for the sense of community I had back home. I searched for ways to connect, to find programs that my daughters and I could be part of—but options were still scarce.
Then one day, I came across a simple inquiry: What kind of programs should be offered in our beautiful new community center? I reached out, shared my thoughts, and in the process of that conversation, something clicked. I realized I could create the very thing I was searching for.
And that’s how Learn and Play Hooray! was born—a warm, joyful space for parents, grandparents, and caregivers to connect and grow alongside their little ones. This class isn’t just about bonding with your child; it’s about building a community, making your child’s first friends, and experiencing a positive, stress-free learning environment filled with laughter and love.
I hope you’ll feel right at home in my class—welcomed, supported, and surrounded by joy. I can’t wait to meet you!
