Meet Our Director, LaToya Townsend
Hi, my name is LaToya Townsend and I am originally from Columbia, SC, but grew up in a small town by the beach. I have over 20 years of experience in the childcare and education field with an accompanying degree in Human Services.
I am married with a daughter who attends USC Upstate and a son who attends Blythewood High. I also have 2 yorkies that I adore. I enjoy spending time with my family and relaxing by the beach.
There is no other career I'd rather be in than working with children. As the saying goes, "it takes a village to raise a family," and they are truly like family to me!
