How to redefine childcare practices with Antoinette Elliott

Release date: April 13, 2026

When it comes to programs and services for children and families, researchers and practitioners should work hand-in-hand: research should guide practice and, in turn, study what is working to inform the rest of the field. By all accounts, All Our Children Elite Childcare Academy, the beloved program founded by Antoinette Elliott, exemplifies this relationship. Antoinette incorporated best practices and input from expert consultants in the design of the academy, but, as you will hear, I believe that the elements that she created from experience and trial-and-error are benefiting children and families in ways that need to be studied and replicated.

Biography of Antoinette Elliott

Antoinette Elliott is redefining what modern childcare can look like, especially for parents navigating burnout, night shifts, foster care, or just needing a day to breathe. As the founder of All Our Children Elite Childcare Academy, she’s built a nature-based, vegetarian program rooted in flexibility, whole-child development, and deep caregiver training. Every staff member is CPR and crisis-prevention certified, every meal is plant-based, and every child is treated like they belong. Her approach proves that nature and nutrition aren’t luxuries. They’re essential tools for raising curious, resilient kids. In this episode, Antoinette shares how she’s supporting not just children, but caregivers too — offering drop-in care, extended hours, and even free Saturdays for foster parents. It’s a conversation that challenges outdated childcare models and offers a real-world vision for what it means to show up for families today.
