Ms. Diamond
Director
Hello and welcome!
My name is Miss Diamond, and I am so happy you’re here. I have had the privilege of serving as the Director of Eagles Nest Child Development Center for the past six years, but my passion for children began long before that. Working with children has always been a huge part of my life; from tutoring and teaching to leading and caring for little ones as they learn and grow. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Educational Studies, but my greatest joy comes from building relationships with children and families and creating a place that truly feels like home. I believe every child deserves to feel loved, safe, valued, and encouraged to become the best version of themselves.
At Eagles Nest, we are more than a childcare center, we are a family. We celebrate milestones, wipe tears, cheer on accomplishments, and create meaningful experiences that children will carry with them for years to come. Thank you for considering Eagles Nest and trusting us with one of the most important parts of your life; your child. We cannot wait to welcome you into our Eagles Nest family

have a passion for caring for and supporting children as they learn and grow. What I love most about working with children is watching them develop confidence, discover new things, and build loving relationships along the way. Being able to help create a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment for children and families is something very special to me. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, decorating, relaxing outdoors, and finding creative ways to make spaces feel warm and welcoming. To our families, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child’s life. I understand how important it is to feel peace and comfort when leaving your little ones in someone else’s care. My heart is to make sure every child feels loved, safe, encouraged, and cared for each day they walk through our doors. We truly appreciate every family who becomes part of the Eagles Nest family.

the very beginning, I have had the privilege of helping guide and support our center while covering our children, families, and staff in prayer.

Qualified Educators with Loving Hearts.
Mrs. Brittany
Lead Infant Teacher
Hey there, families! My name is Brittany and I am the Lead Infant Teacher here Eagles Nest. I have worked in childcare on and off for a little
...
over 10 years. I started out working as an after school counselor at the age of eighteen and then have worked in an infant room for seven years. The infant room will always have my heart and is by far my favorite classroom in the entire center. The reason that it’s my favorite is because from birth to a year old is the most crucial time for development and I have the honor and privilege to be a part of that. My biggest goal as an educator is for your child to feel secure, loved, and have a space that feels like home when they enter my classroom. I also have a goal that when each parent drops their precious little ones off with me that they feel confident that their child is in a nurturing, educational, and safe environment every single day. A fun fact that not a lot of people know about is that I almost became a professional drummer for the Carolina Panthers! Outside of work, I love spending time with my son and family, reading, having dance parties and cooking for others!

Mrs. Tiada
Lead 3’s Teacher
Hi, I’m Tiada. I currently work with the three-year-olds at Eagles Nest CDC and have been in childcare for a little over 6 years. Caring
...
for children has always been a part of my life. I’ve been helping care for my family’s children since I was 14 years old. I’m a wife and a busy mom of four little ones who keep me active with sports and family activities. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and crafting. I am currently in school working toward my associate degree in childcare so I can continue learning more about children and become even better at my job. I truly love helping children learn, grow, and succeed. Working with three-year-olds keeps me on my toes, but I enjoy helping them grow socially, emotionally, and academically every day. I don’t really have a favorite age group because you can place me in any classroom and I’ll make it happen! One thing families should know about me is that I’m a loving and caring mom, and I will treat your children like they are my own. At Eagles Nest CDC, we are a close team that works together like family. My own son has attended here since he was 4 months old, and he has loved every teacher he’s had. Seeing the love and care they pour into him makes me even more thankful to be part of such a wonderful team.

and primarily work with the infants. Although I am new to childcare professionally, I have always loved caring for children and getting to know their unique personalities. I enjoy working with all age groups, especially the one-year-olds and grade school kids. A fun fact about me is that I am an Army veteran and was honorably discharged in 2024 after serving for five and a half years. In my free time, I enjoy taking walks, photography, creating drinks for my café business, and spending time with family and friends. I truly believe that while children learn from us, we also learn from them. Getting to grow alongside them has already been a rewarding experience for me.

Miss. Haley
Director
Hi! My name is Haley, but the kids know me as Miss Tabby! I have been at Eagles Nest for three years and have had the opportunity
...
to work in every classroom, but the infant room has truly stolen my heart. I love getting to snuggle the babies and spend one-on-one time with them, helping each child feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Before coming to Eagles Nest, I previously worked in childcare and quickly realized how much joy I find in working with children. One of my favorite parts of this job is having the privilege of watching children learn, grow, and reach new milestones during their preschool journey. Being a small part of that growth is incredibly rewarding and something that truly warms my heart. Outside of work, I love going on adventures, especially trips to the beach! I also enjoy doing nails, and it’s rare to see me without mine done. In my free time, you can usually find me spending time with my son, watching true crime shows, or getting lost in a good book.
