JACIE BUTTERS
Owner/Director
Thank you for your interest in AristoCat Children’s Academy! My name is JaCie Butters, and I founded AristoCat Children’s Academy in 2010. It has since been my mission to operate a high-quality academy, which provides safe, clean, nurturing and developmentally appropriate environments for children.
As a mother of two, I know how important it is to know that your child is surrounded by loving and caring individuals in a secure environment. Our AristoCat team is here for you. WELCOME!
DUSTY
Director
I love the excitement of seeing students learn something new! Sometimes it is the best part of the day, knowing that you are a part of that development. If I could pass wisdom onto my students, I would tell them to just help and care. The world would be such a better place if everyone just cared and helped a little more.
HAYLE
Assistant Director, Kindergarten Readiness Specialist
I’m always up for an adventure, and at AristoCats we’re always having adventures as we experience new aspects of life together. I especially love doing art and creative activities with the children.
At home I love to draw. When I’m not being creative, I can be found seeking adventures with my husband, making people smile, or doting on our two kids who spoil us with giggles and smiles almost as much as we spoil them with love.
ASHLEY
MeerCat, Preschool Specialist and Classroom Support
I love seeing children learn new things every day and knowing I can be part of it. That makes me happy! I may not have a lot of experience but I do enjoy making a difference in the lives of children. I hope to one day own my very own child care center.
I grew up with a fairly decent sized family. In addition to my parents, I have 3 sisters and one brother.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies and babysitting children.
KARLEY
Wasatch Cats and Classroom Support
I love the hugs I get from my young friends as I greet them at the door in the morning!
I believe things don’t need to be complicated to be incredibly sweet. My favorite ice cream is vanilla because I can enjoy it the way it is, or I can add to it. That’s how I prefer life; simple, with the ability to enhance it.
I like writing music lyrics, tinkering around on the piano and violin, and duking it out with my family during our family game nights. I find solace writing novels, going on leisurely strolls, and enjoying Sunday afternoon drives with my family.
SHANTELLE
AristoCub Specialist
Baby giggles and cheesy grins always bring a smile to my heart and face. I love the simple happiness children feel and share.
I have two beautiful daughters and one handsome son, who also bring a smile to my heart. My family would not be complete without my cats, dogs, fish, and bearded dragon. I love animals!
In my spare time you can find me listening to music, camping, fishing, hunting, or simply relaxing in the crisp mountain air.

Magic happens when you focus on learning something new every day and working with children provides plenty of avenues for inspiration and growth. I dream of being a 2nd grade teacher, working with the sweet children at AristoCats is equipping me with useful skills for when that dream becomes a reality.
SHELBIE
Classroom Support
While interning in a 1st grade classroom, I had my first taste of organized childcare, and it fascinated me! I loved helping the kids and watching them grow. It is my dream one day to own my own preschool, so working with the kids and staff at AristoCats has been perfect for me.
BRYNN
AristoCub and MeerCat Specialist
I have learned the importance of routines, positive discipline, and integrating a variety of hands-on activities into children’s schedules. Children thrive and grow when they know what to expect, and I love being part of their journey.
SADIE
Classroom Support
I enjoy children and teaching them. I like to help children develop their abilities. I like that I get to work in a family-friendly work environment. I look forward to working with your family.
SEIARA

I love being a teacher at AristoCats. I get to help bring up our next future leaders, aspiring artists, next caregivers, first responders, and everything that someone can be! Watching children grow and achieve their goals brings me so much joy.
SIDNIE
AristoCub Specialist
I love being a mom and working with kids, I even work in the nursery at church! I have 4 kids and I love watching them grow! My favorite place is Disneyland and my husband and I have figured out all the tricks to make it an amazing experience! I love to garden, go fishing and sewing. I believe that every person has a story to tell and love being able to experience that with them!
Rushel
MeerCat Specialist
There is absolutely nothing better than watching a child learn something. When they finally grasp what is going on, that is pure magic to me. I love helping children expand their knowledge and explore the world around them. When I am not at work, I am with my family, going on adventures! We are happiest in the mountains or on the South Carolina Coast!
Sara
Classroom Support
I love having a direct impact on the lives of children, it is rewarding and I feel extremely valued in what we do! I love traveling, hiking camping and Yoga, all with my kids! I can't imagine living life without the opportunity to see Europe, Asia and South America.

Jess Skrypek
We love Aristocats! We remember being so worried to send our 3 month old to daycare full time but they are more than a daycare - they are a family. We have grown to know each teacher and cannot say enough about them. Our little guy has grown into a happy toddler and we owe so much to the wonderful teachers he is with everyday! I love the schedule they have taught him and all the activities they do each day. Not sure what we would do without our village!
KayCe Goodrich
The staff & owners are amazing they always have the child & their best interest in mind, and work with the utmost integrity. Their facility is clean, secure, and provides a safe learning space for kids. They go above and beyond by providing additional activities for the kids and their family's outside of the typical daycare program / hours such as Holiday events, Date night options for parents and more. You wont be disappointed!
