Kaitlin Steele

Toddler Teacher

I’ve been working hands-on with children in early childhood settings for over seven years, starting my professional journey at just 16 years old. I graduated with my Associate’s degree in Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education in April 2025 and joined Little Lanes Daycare in July 2025. As both a mom and an educator, nothing makes me happier than seeing children grow, reach new milestones, and let their personalities shine. I love watching confidence bloom, curiosity take over, and little friendships form. Helping kids learn and feel proud of themselves is truly my favorite part of the job!

I have been working with children for over a year, and I absolutely love what I do. Caring for kids and supporting their growth brings me so much joy, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves.
