What Our Village
is Saying
Hear how Foundations is making a lasting difference in the lives of children every day.
Every teacher we’ve met has genuinely cared about our son, and teachers who aren’t even in his class take time to greet us.
- Kaitlyn
My son’s teacher does a great job updating me on the app with his meals, what curriculum he learned that day, and even pictures.
- Angel
I know my son is in great hands while we’re at work, and we’re amazed that he seems to come home with a new word or skill every day.
- Emily
From the moment we walked in to look at Foundations, we have felt welcome. The teachers are patient, kind, and always excited to see our kids.
- Christina
Love this daycare!! Everyone is super nice, they go above and beyond for my child, and they work with my schedule!

Meet Your Team
Jacqueline Turner | Center Director
Hello, I'm Jacqueline Turner! With more than 24 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve been blessed to spend my career helping children learn, grow, and discover their unique potential.
Creating a safe and engaging environment where children can thrive is at the heart of everything I do. I am deeply committed to building strong, supportive partnerships with families to ensure the best experience for each child in our care.
I'm proud mother of three and grandmother of six. In my free time, you can find me playing basketball, reading, singing, or watching movies that reflect my love for creativity, connection, and fun.
Katelyn Atkison | Assistant Director
Hi, I’m Katelyn Atkison. With more than 14 years of experience in early childhood education, I’ve served as a lead teacher in both Montessori and traditional childcare settings. I hold a Child Care Management Certification from Tri-County Technical College and continue to pursue education as a lifelong learner.
I’m passionate about supporting children during such a critical stage of development and find it incredibly rewarding to guide, encourage, and nurture their curiosity as they explore the world around them.
I enjoy journaling and listening to music, spending time with my husband and our son, and playing games with my family.
We’d Love to Meet You!
Whether you’re ready to enroll or just exploring childcare options, we’re here to help you. Discover what makes Foundations special!
