Leslie
Cotchett
Board Member
Leslie Cotchett graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a Degree in Biology and Fine Arts. After earning her Nursing Degree at Santa Rosa Junior College, Leslie worked as a hospice nurse for thirteen years. It was an incredibly satisfying profession which allowed her to work with a diverse group of families. In 2003, Leslie adopted her daughter, Abi. Becoming a mother inspired her to shift her focus in life to supporting children’s rights, allowing children to experience childhoods and being the best role model she can be. Her vision is to have a childcare center where children feel empowered to care for themselves and others. Leslie is very proud to be on the board of directors for 4Cs and fully supports the organization’s advocacy for the well-being of every child and quality childcare.
