Episode Details

In this empowering episode, host Emily Cleghorn welcomes Antoinette Elliott, mother and owner of ALC Elite Childcare in Suncrest, Georgia.

Antoinette shares how her personal experience of isolation as a new mother inspired her to create a family-based childcare center offering flexible scheduling from 6:30 a.m. to midnight.

She discusses her staff's specialized crisis prevention training, the importance of guilt-free self-care, and practical advice for finding compassionate childcare. Antoinette reminds mothers that prioritizing their wellbeing ultimately makes them better parents — because you cannot pour from an empty cup.
