Katie Gomez is the Founder/CEO of The Sunnyside Academy. Katie has years of experience in different industries in position that mainly have a finance basis. She has had multiple small businesses over the years. For the past 3 years she has been in the childcare industry and wanted to bring another option to our community. She created this local nonprofit in June 2023 because she knows the need for childcare and how local families as well as families that are moving here from out of area or state desire a chance to be able to choose what type of facility they send their child/children to.
What Katie says about why she got involved in this foundation:
"There are so many different care philosophies and it is a great feeling when someone can choose what is best for their family"
