Hello! My name is Lydia Gilbert and I am the Owner/Director of Estill Early Learning Center! I was born and raised in Estill County and it's where I still reside with my family that includes my two boys, Jackson and Grant. I obtained my Bachelors in Social Work with a minor in Child and Family Studies from Eastern Kentucky University and have worked with many different populations throughout my career. Prior to establishing plans for Estill Early Learning Center (formally Estill Child Development Center), I worked for the state's Preservation and Reunification Program, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, and in Mental Healthcare where I also became certified in Serious Mental Illnesses (SMI), Substance Use Disorders (SUD), and Serious Emotional Disturbances (SED) Case Management. The majority of my experiences have been directly related to my professional interests of improving child welfare and helping the general wellbeing of families in my local and surrounding communities by providing linkages to local resources, advocating for needs, and being a helping hand during families hard times. I was also honored to be commissioned a Kentucky Colonel for my professional services to my communities and resources established through Estill Early Learning Center.
I established Estill Early Learning Center with local families in mind and a main commitment to improve the lives of all those that enter. I want our center to not only be a place of growth for the children who it serves but teachers and families as well that attend.
