What Our Village
is Saying
Hear how Foundations is making a lasting difference in the lives of children every day.
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
I am extremely happy and pleased with the love and care from all the staff towards me and my granddaughter. Trust me when I tell you that not a lot of preschools are like this.
- Chris
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
My almost 2-year-old has learned so much. Sign language, counting, ABC's and shapes are a few of the many things that they have taught him.
- Sarah
Our 18-month-old has never been to daycare before, so I was a little nervous. It’s only been TWO WEEKS, and she has already learned more, is talking more, and is interacting more with her new friends.

Meet Your Team
Destine Relaford | Center Director
Hi, I’m Destine Relaford! With more than 9 years in early childhood education, I've held roles as an afterschool teacher, lead teacher, and assistant director.
I hold an associate’s degree in early childhood education from Savannah Technical College and am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree. Inspired by a teacher who believed in me, I strive to be a nurturing, encouraging presence for every child I work with.
I’m married and a proud mom of one, living in Hinesville, GA. My family loves the outdoors—especially the beach! Family is everything to me, and I bring that same sense of care and connection to the families I serve every day.
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!
