is Saying
Hear how Foundations is making a lasting difference in the lives of children every day.
There is absolutely no better feeling than dropping your kids off and being able to know they are being well taken care of!
- Jaimiee
Our daughter has learned so much academically and socially through the activities and lessons planned by her teachers.
- Melissa
Our daughter loves going to school every day and loves everyone there. It's also been much easier for me to work :) I truly feel at ease knowing she is in your school's care.
- Jaye
I love this center. I really enjoy all the personal involvement from the staff. It really makes me feel safe leaving my most precious people with them.
- Meredith
The after-school program allows my child time to work on homework but also explore through STEAM activities and enjoy outside. My youngest loves all the different activities.

Meet Your Team
Nicole Clark | Center Director
Hi, I’m Nicole Clark! I’ve been in early childhood education since 2004 and have served as an Assistant Teacher, Lead Teacher, and Assistant Director. I love supporting children’s growth and building strong relationships with families. Seeing children master new skills still brings me joy every day.
My passion for early learning began when I enrolled my daughter in childcare while studying to become an elementary teacher. A welcoming director encouraged me to join the team, and I discovered how important early childhood education is long before kindergarten.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband, Matt, and our two daughters. I also love concerts, reading, relaxing, and watching football on the weekends — Go Gators!
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!
