Meet Our Director, Allyson Batte

Hi, I’m Allyson Batte! I’ve been in childcare since 2008, with experience as a Pre-K and Lead Infant Teacher, Lead Float, and Mentor Teacher. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Promotion and Secondary Education from the University of North Texas and an MBA in Marketing Data Analytics from Colorado State University.

I’m passionate about helping children discover and grow, and I love being a part of shaping their futures.

I’ve been married for eight years and have two kids, Easton and Emery, along with two dogs—Echo, a Great Pyrenees, and Ember, a Golden Retriever. We enjoy traveling and exploring Colorado as a family. I love reading with my book club and baking bread and pastries. After college, I spent a year teaching English in South Korea, followed by eight years in the military, where I held various roles and traveled the world.
