Ms. Carole

Carole is a native of Ohio who moved to New Tampa with her husband John in 1994. Carole started with Hand in Hand in 2005, having previously taught at Clark Elementary for three and a half years and as a lead teacher at Lighthouse Academy. Prior to that, Carole ran her own toddler program out of her home. Carole's certification is in Early Learning and Development.

Carole and John have three daughters, Brianna (a junior at Florida State University), Jenna (a senior at Wharton High School), and Kaleigh (a sophomore at Wharton High School).  Aside from watching her daughters play softball and weekend trips to FSU, Carole also enjoys baking and cooking.

Carole "absolutely loves" teaching at Hand in Hand Academy, saying, "One of the reasons I love working at Hand in Hand is the small class sizes. You can accomplish so much more and focus on individual needs. Also, the parental involvement and constant support from our director, office manager, and all of the teachers make coming to work fun!!"
