Our Founder and Owner, Pamela Piekarski, started in early education as a Kindergarten teacher in 1978. Over the years she realized that kindergarten was late for introducing early-learning skills to children and that they would have much better opportunities in life if they were taught necessary concepts at an earlier age.
With an owner who has been in the childcare industry for 40 years and teachers who all have education in developmentally appropriate practices, we are stalwart advocates for education. Finally in 1985, after not being able to find quality early learning for her 3 daughters who were under 5, she opened her first childcare center in Kansas City, MO.
