Meet Our Director, LaToya Powell

Hi, I’m LaToya! I bring more than 20 years of childcare experience, having served as both a Teacher and an Assistant Director. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Family and Community Services with a concentration in Human Services from East Carolina University, along with Level III Administration Credentials from Haywood Community College.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping children learn, grow, and discover who they are. I love watching their understanding deepen and their confidence blossom as they explore the world around them.

I’m outgoing and very family oriented. I recently got married, and we have a dog named Nina. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling to the beach and mountains, listening to music, and reading. I also love cheering on the Carolina Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes!
