About

Welcome to Childcare Network in Southport, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Bethany Norris, and I am the school Director. I have worked in early childhood education for 8 years, holding several positions including assistant teacher, lead teacher, education coordinator, and assistant director prior to becoming director. At our school, we strive to ensure that parents feel safe and secure leaving their children with us and that children leave every day smiling.

Our goal is to build a community where every child feels safe, valued, and excited to learn. We want our students to grow at their own pace, gain confidence in their abilities, and learn about the world around them. We also aim to strengthen the bond with families, ensuring they feel supported and involved in their child’s development.

We value kindness, empathy, and collaboration—both among our staff and with the children in our care. Our team works together to create a nurturing and positive environment where every child can thrive.

Feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a team member. We look forward to building a long-lasting relationship with your family!
