Shea Cochran

Originally from Mebane, NC, I attended East Carolina University where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Family and Community services, with a concentration in Child Studies.  Since joining The Growing Years in 2010, I have had the opportunity to get to know and care for many children and families from three different TGY locations (Cary, Apex & now Burlington).  I have always found working with people and families to be rewarding, but children especially provide a sense of fulfillment as being a child care provider makes such an influential impact on both their day to day experience and the future.  Outside of my career I enjoy trying new recipes, preparing for holidays and spending time with my family.  Having three children and a dog of my own, there is never a dull moment at the Cochran house!  I look forward to my professional growth with the company and continuing to make connections between our families and the children in our care.

Hi, my name is Kathleen Bowman and I joined the TGY Burlington team as the
Director in 2013. I was born and raised in Lexington, NC and now reside in
Graham, NC. I spent 6 years living in Hawaii working for the US Army Child, Youth
and School Services. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and
a Master’s Degree in Birth-Kindergarten Studies with an emphasis in Program
Administration and Leadership. I have worked in the early childhood field for over
15 years and truly enjoy my role as a Director, which allows me to support the
development of our children and teachers. I have been married since 2016 and
we have an amazing daughter, Presley, who was born in 2018. Spending time
with my family is my greatest blessing!
