My name is Valeska Keppard, and I am a New Orleans native, born and raised. I am a proud mother of four and grandmother of four, and I have been happily married for 22 years. Being family-oriented is at the heart of who I am.

My passion for helping children and giving back to the community inspired me to start my own daycare and career center alongside my daughter. I began my journey working with children in 2007 as the Director of a Learning Center serving toddlers and children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. With over 18 years of experience in early childhood education, I am forever grateful for the opportunity to continue doing the work I love—supporting children, families, and our community.
