Candrice Palmour is one of our Infant Teachers here at Carolina Prep. She has been married for 26 years with 2 children ages 20 and 25 and 3 fur baby’s. They relocated with her husband’s employer to South Carolina in 2017 from Atlanta, Georgia. She has worked in childcare off and on for 25 years. She ventured into the corporate world in 1998 for a few years starting at Kennesaw University to get her paralegal certificate and was employed with a law firm for 4 years.  After leaving the law firm Candrice made it a point to choose jobs that would work around her schedule so it didn’t interfere with her time with their children. She applied for jobs that were less stressful that would allow her to work only part time. After her daughter started school she started working in childcare where her daughter was enrolled and stayed there until she aged out. Their son was born 5 years later.  She was blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom for his first 4 years. Candrice continued working in childcare with ages infant through pre- K, her favorite being Pre-k and infants. She has a passion  working with children and finds it to be very rewarding to see each child meet and exceed their milestones. She enjoys meeting all her new parents and creating relationships that last a lifetime. “Every child I have ever taught  has a special place in my heart and each parent a friendship that makes working with children all worth it.”
