More than childcare. A place to grow.
For eight years, Destination Education has been a second home for Memphis families — a place where every child is known, nurtured, and cheered on, and every parent can breathe a little easier.
HAPPY STOPS
Safe. Nurturing. Full of energy.
Every child deserves a strong start — and every family deserves a team they can trust.
Our mission is to provide professional child care in a safe, clean, nurturing, and energetic environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Every child receives a quality educational experience that sets them up for success inside and outside the classroom — and prepares them to make a positive difference in their community.
The values that drive us
Four simple ideas guide everything we do, from the front door to the classroom.
Respect
We treat every child, family, and teammate with dignity — because everyone deserves to feel seen and valued.
Fun
Learning sticks when it’s joyful. We build laughter, play, and curiosity into every single day.
Integrity
We do what’s right, even when no one is watching, and we keep our promises to the families who trust us.
Leadership
We help little ones find their voice and their confidence, and we lead by example every day.
A peek inside our days
Giggles, messy hands, big discoveries, and a whole lot of heart.
The heart and soul of our center
We take immense pride in our team of dedicated educators — the people who make every day at Destination Education special for your child.
Jacolbie Hardy
Led by our passionate founder and director, Jacolbie Hardy, our educators don’t just meet the standards of care — we believe in exceeding them, every single day.
Highly trained
Our staff is not just highly trained — they are the heart and soul of our commitment to giving your child the best possible start in life.
Always learning
Our educators are perpetual learners, continuously attending training to stay current on the latest educational methodologies.
Attentive, nurturing care
Every team member practices the best and most effective care, so each child receives the nurturing and attentive support they deserve.
