A vision fueled by faith,

Shantavier "Taye" Pressley
Founder & Director · In His Hands Learning Academy

My name is Shantavier "Taye" Pressley, and I am honored to serve as the Founder and Director of In His Hands Learning Academy LLC and In His Hands Learning Academy @ Mt. Meigs LLC.

As a college graduate, wife, mother, educator, and entrepreneur, my passion has always been centered around children and families. Before opening In His Hands Learning Academy, I spent 8.5 years with the Alabama Department of Human Resources Child Protective Services, where I advocated for the safety, well-being, and success of children throughout our community.

"If you think her hands are full, you should see her heart."
In His Hands Learning Academy

Today, I am blessed to be a wife of 11 years and a proud mother of two amazing daughters, ages 10 and 6. Being both a parent and childcare provider allows me to understand firsthand the trust families place in us each day. It is a responsibility I never take lightly.

What began as a vision fueled by faith has grown into a thriving childcare organization dedicated to providing exceptional early childhood education, loving care, and meaningful support for families throughout Montgomery, Alabama.

Our Mission
To provide children with a strong educational foundation, support families with excellence, and inspire others to pursue their God-given purpose.
With gratitude,
Shantavier "Taye" Pressley
