After 19 years of experience
in childcare, Priscilla
Bennett, owner and director
of Hayleigh Childcare,
was blessed to open her
own childcare center. She
said she stepped out in
faith, and a dream came
true.
She named the center
after her first grandchild.
Bennett said the thing
that sets her center apart
from others is her years of
experience and a loving
environment for the child
of the future.
“Parents love the atmosphere
there and are very
pleased,” she said. “Most
of my clients are from
birth until school-age. We
all share tears at pre-K
graduation time, but they
always come visit.”
“I believe parent/provider
communication is key
to a successful childcare
relationship,” Bennett
said. “I strive to demonstrate
the ability to work
with families to develop
children’s physical and
intellectual capabilities in
a safe and healthy learning
environment.
“We believe children
should have fun! After all,
the experts agree that preschool-age
children learn
most through play. These
carefree years are short,
and soon the children will
be exposed to a much
more structured form of
learning. We provide a
structured program with a
learning curriculum.
During the month, many
activities take place which
help promote basic skills
(letter and number recognition,
color and shape
recognition, large motor
skills, small motor skills,
etc.). We will assign homework,
and we apprecitate
your help in assisting your
child with his/her homework,
as well as assisting
the teacher when asked.”
Bennett has received an
Administrative Training
Scholarship. She has also
been awarded Child
Development Associate
credentials in recognition
of outstanding work with
young children.

my philosophy to provide
a secure, enriching and
loving environment for
your children to grow,
while offering parents
peace of mind, knowing
their children are safe.

Denise Rau founded
Rau Financial Group nearly
five years ago with one
goal in mind — to help
families achieve “financial
serenity.”
“I’m asking my clients
to trust me with their —
and their family’s —
future. This is not something
I take lightly, especially
in light of the current
instability in the
national economy. I want
to help them not only
save money through
sound investments, but
also to help ensure their
ability to meet their life
goals without anxiety. I
want them to feel secure
about their personal
finances, regardless of
what happens on Wall
Street.”
As a CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLAN-
NER®, Rau takes a comprehensive
approach to an
individual’s financial life.
She considers a client’s
goals, stage in life, personal
circumstances and risk
tolerance, and then makes
recommendations for
growing and preserving
wealth, minimizing taxes,
estate planning, insurance
— and more.
“The first thing I do
when I talk to a client is
ask them to tell me what
things are most important
to them in their life,” says
Rau.
“Then together we look
at where they are spending
their money. Very
often, they will find that
they are not actually
spending the most money
on the things that are
most important to them.
That is why they are not
happy with their financial
situation.
“I work with them to
get these elements
aligned. Once that happens,
they are on track for
achieving their financial
and life goals, and feeling
much more confident
about their financial security.”
Rau Financial Group
has grown tremendously
since its beginning, and in
addition to Rau, the staff
includes LPL financial
advisors Eva Abate, Mark
Eckard and Denise
Wilkinson.
The firm offers an
extensive range of financial
services including
financial planning, investments,
retirement planning,
trust services, real
estate investment services
and insurance products.
Rau Financial Group is
located at 133 Jefferson
Street in Lake Charles.
