Our Story

Hi, I'm Kateryna

Founder of Turnip Academy

Creating this daycare has been my dream for as long as I can remember.

I grew up in a big family with many younger brothers and sisters. As the oldest sibling, I naturally became the one who cared for them, invented games, planned activities, and found creative ways to make every day fun. Spending time with children never felt like work — it was simply something I loved.

My grandfather used to tell me, "If you find something you truly love, you'll never have to work a day in your life." Those words stayed with me and inspired me to pursue a career in early childhood education.

Children inspire me every day. Their curiosity, imagination, and excitement for discovering the world remind me why I chose this profession. I truly love learning alongside them and helping each child build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

At Turnip Academy, my goal is to create more than just a daycare — a place where every child feels safe, loved, and excited to come each morning, and where families feel confident their little one is in caring hands.
