Our daughter has really flourished. She has also become more outgoing and comfortable around other children and adults, and we totally credit this to Foundations.

Meet Your Team
Keely Wikstrom | Center Director
Hi, I’m Keely Wikstrom! I’ve worked in early childhood education for more than 36 years in a variety of roles, including Teacher (infants through school age), Curriculum Coordinator, Assistant Director, and now Director at Foundations of Boiling Springs.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in education, an associate’s degree in early childhood, and a Certificate in Conscious Discipline. I love witnessing those “light bulb” moments when children master a new concept and their confidence shines.
I am married, have 2 children and 1 Fur Baby. We moved to South Carolina 6 years ago and fell in love with it right away. Originally from the North, we cheer on the Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers, and Phillies. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, crafting, and spending time with family.
Raela Moates | Assistant Director
Hi, I’m Raela Moates! I’ve been working in early childhood education since 2022, and I’m inspired every day by watching children learn, grow, and change as they get older. I’ve enjoyed serving in several roles, including 3-year-old teacher, school-age teacher, and Assistant Director.
I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Spartanburg Community College, along with a Preschool CDA. I’m currently working toward my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from North Greenville University.
Outside of work, I love reading and spending time with my two dogs, Ari and Smokey. My favorite place to be is the beach!
