Meet the Team

Let me introduce myself! My name is Courtney and I grew up in Tolar. I graduated in 1999 and I am still a proud Tolar Rattler! All through school I babysat in our community and once I was old enough I worked at a local daycare. After graduation I attended Weatherford College and obtained my degree in Early Childhood Education with an additional track in infant and toddler studies. I received outstanding student of my graduating class. While in college I was a nanny and also worked as a two year old teacher then a pre k teacher as well as an ABA therapist for children on the autism spectrum. Once I graduated I became the assistant director for the center, but continued working with my private ABA clients. I soon realized that God was calling me to open up a clinic for children on the spectrum. In 2002 I opened Giggles Therapy and for the first 8 years we were a licensed childcare center as well as an ABA clinic. I owned and operated Giggles for 21 years and once I moved back to Tolar in 2021 I started the process of selling the company. I tried the "retired" lifestyle for about a year but I just wasn't ready. Once I realized that one of the daycares in Tolar had to close and the building was for sale I new that our community needed that additional daycare. I began to pray about it and here we are! I am so very excited about this new venture!
