Hello, my name is Kayla, and I am the director of Gabe’s Place. My journey in childcare spans 14 years, beginning when I first became a parent myself and recognized the crucial need for quality childcare. Witnessing this need firsthand, I felt compelled to channel my passion for working with children into a meaningful profession. Over the years, I’ve found immense joy in nurturing young minds and facilitating their growth and development. What truly inspires me is observing the transformation as children explore, learn, and discover the world around them. It’s incredibly rewarding to play a role in their journey, knowing that I’m making a positive impact on their lives and the community.
