Hello! I’m Quanteka Harris, and I’m excited to share a bit about myself.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and have spent the past six years working in childcare, where my passion for teaching continues to grow. Through my experience, I’ve developed a deep commitment to nurturing and guiding young learners as they explore and develop their unique talents. I’ve also completed several professional development trainings to enhance my skills and ensure I provide the best care and education to every child.

Currently, I’m pursuing my master’s degree in early childhood education to expand my knowledge and further enhance my ability to support children and families. I believe in creating a nurturing and engaging environment where children can thrive and develop the confidence to be their best selves.

I look forward to getting to know you and your family and supporting your child’s growth and development every step of the way!

I’m Kennedy Blakely. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.

Kennedy Blakely is originally from Roswell, Georgia. She attended Brigham Young University-Idaho, where she met her husband during their first semester there. After graduating, Kennedy and her husband married in May of 2024. With a job opportunity lined up for her husband, the couple made the move from Georgia to Charlotte, North Carolina, where they have been enjoying the new chapter of their lives.

Kennedy has always had a passion for working with children, particularly in childcare. She knew even before moving that she wanted to continue her work as a daycare teacher, a profession she finds deeply fulfilling. Whether it’s nurturing the development of young minds or creating a positive, enriching environment, Kennedy is excited to continue making a difference in the lives of the children she works with.

I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.
