Meet the Director: Bevin Carter
Hi, I'm Bevin! I am originally from Chicago and moved to Nevada a little over a year ago. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology with minors in Early Childhood Development and Biology, as well as a master's degree in occupational therapy. I am a certified Occupational Therapist and am currently working toward earning my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy.
I have been working with children for over 10 years, and it is truly my passion. I love helping children learn, grow, and reach their full potential in a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Building positive relationships with children and their families is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do, and I am excited to be a part of your child's early learning journey.
