Hi, I'm Chelsea.
Mom of four. Daycare owner for over a decade. Early childhood educator with 15+ years of experience. And the person who wants to make your journey a whole lot easier than mine was.
I started Purple Clover Preschool from my living room with nothing but a passion for children and a whole lot of determination. I made every mistake you can imagine — underpriced my services, didn't have a handbook, skipped the licensing process for too long, and burned out more than once.
But I figured it out. I built a thriving daycare that earns six figures. I created original curriculum based on Montessori and Reggio Emilia principles. I raised four kids while doing it. And now I want to share everything I've learned with you.
My Philosophy
The Whole Child
Every child is more than a set of milestones to check off. I focus on the WHOLE child — emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development, all woven together through play and connection.
Positive Communication
How we talk to children shapes who they become. I teach positive communication techniques that build trust, reduce meltdowns, and help kids develop self-regulation from a young age.
Intentional Daily Activities
Every moment in a child's day is a learning opportunity — when it's designed with intention. From mealtime conversations to outdoor play, I build purposeful experiences into the rhythm of each day.
Partnership with Parents
I believe the best outcomes happen when educators and parents are on the same team. That's why I share my knowledge freely — through courses, resources, and community.
I started from scratch. I learned from my mistakes. I've been in the trenches — both as a mom and as a business owner. Purple Clover Learning is everything I wish I'd had when I started. Now it's yours.
