    Lexi Young

    FOUNDER / DIRECTOR

    To watch your children grow and learn about the world around them, is such an incredible honor. Our primary role is to help support the journey you as parents are taking and put the glitter and paint stains on the journey that is your child’s. This is your story and we’d love to provide a wide array of tools to help you write it. Whether that entails implementing comfort measures for a laboring woman or breaking into an impromptu dance session with your preschooler, we tailor our support to best suit your needs.

    Audrey Jackson

    DIRECTOR OF OPERTIONS

    I have been with Your Journey for almost 3 years now. I am passionate about the enrichment and education we have the privilege of being able to provide in children’s lives every day. Working with families to achieve their goals, and witnessing children learn and grow is so incredibly fulfilling for me. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family’s journey.
