Tiny Olives was born within the late night prayers and the unwavering love of a mother on a mission within the quiet hours of a hospital room.  When Olivia Grace entered the world with congenital heart disease, her family’s days became filled with hospital stays, careful precautions, and prayers for strength. In just two and a half years, Olivia endured four open-heart surgeries and through it all, she remained the happiest baby, surpassing every obstacle with joy. Her resilience, light, and unshakable spirit became the inspiration behind Tiny Olives.

​

The name carries both personal and biblical meaning. Rooted in Olivia’s name, it also symbolizes the beauty of children beginning small yet full of potential. In Scripture, the olive tree represents peace, blessing, and resilience—values we see reflected in Olivia’s journey. To us, Olives stand for strength, growth, and the enduring light of faith.

​

As a marketing executive by day and Olivia’s teacher, playmate, and cheerleader by night, Carolina began crafting activities to nurture her daughter’s body awareness, sensory skills, language development, and problem-solving, while also planting seeds of faith. What started as a personal practice soon became a mission: to create meaningful, faith-filled activities that support both developmental and early spiritual formation. The heartbeat of Tiny Olive comes alive in the word: faith starts small.

​

Today, Tiny Olives is a Catholic, Montessori-inspired subscription box designed for toddlers and preschoolers. Each box is filled with carefully curated activities and supplies that are simple, portable, and purposeful, something families can take into hospital rooms, classrooms, waiting areas, or used within the quiet corners of their home. Our mission is to spark wonder, build foundational skills, and introduce little hearts to God’s love.

​

Because faith starts small and the smallest seeds grow the strongest roots.
