Our Mission
At The Intentional Educator, we help educators find their rhythm, reconnect with their values, and lead with heart. Our mission is to support teachers in cultivating authentic learning spaces that spark joy, curiosity, and meaningful growth—for themselves and their students.
Meet Cathy
Cathy Belgrave is a heart-forward educator, creative guide, and calm force for change.
With a background in early childhood and elementary education, she brings 25+ years of deep, grounded wisdom to the table, leading with compassion, curiosity, and intention. A reflective thinker with a nurturing spirit, Cathy is always rooting her work in values, connection, and authenticity. Whether it’s through a podcast mic, a workshop, or a one-on-one coaching session, her voice is steady, inspiring, and real. Cathy’s here to help others thrive—by being fully, bravely themselves.
At the heart of my work is a deep belief in connection—because when children and adults feel seen, heard, and valued, learning unfolds naturally. With over 25 years of experience as a teacher, parent, and Child Life Therapist, I founded Creative Studio for Children in 2017 to merge my love of art, literacy, nature, and inquiry. Now, through The Intentional Educator, I support teachers in creating learning spaces that are playful, purposeful, and grounded in relationship.
Cathy’s Journey
We are all born with extraordinary powers of imagination, intelligence, feelings, intuition, spirituality, and of physical and sensory awareness.
