What Our Village
is Saying
Hear how Foundations is making a lasting difference in the lives of children every day.
It's more than just a daycare. It's a loving environment where children can thrive and grow.
- Ashley
We’ve been at Foundations for 4 years. Our daughter is cared for and treated like she is part of their family.
- Phillip
I've seen such incredible progress in my daughter since she started. At just one year old, she's talking more, starting to write, and even speaking in sentences.
- Ashley
I especially love the photos/videos the teachers send throughout the day of my son learning and participating in all the fun activities!
- Briana
The curriculum offers our kids the opportunity to grow physically, cognitively and socially.

Meet Your Team
Stephanie Brown | Center Director
Hi, I’m Stephanie Brown! I’ve worked in childcare since 1995 and joined Foundations in 2013. I’ve served in a variety of roles, including Lead Teacher, Program Manager, Field Support Director, and Center Director.
I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Guilford Technical Community College, an ECE Administration Credential, and I'm currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Birth–Kindergarten Education at Catawba College.
I believe the early years are critical for building a strong foundation for learning, and I love partnering with families and staff to create a nurturing environment for every child. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, and I’m always on the lookout for a waterfall to hike to whenever I travel.
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!
