OUR STORY

In 1988 I opened the first Kids N Us. The plan was to provide a safe, loving, and educational environment. Providing high quality hands on childcare for multiple families was the goal. After success with one location, a second location was added four years later. Quality and state of the art facilities quickly became a focus therefore it was clear I would need to build new facilities to my high standards and specifications, in order to accomplish this I needed to align myself with quality, loyal staff and professionals. I secured an amazing CPA, developer & banker who would ultimately guide me through the world of building and buying schools.

To date Kids N Us has 6 early learning schools, and a corporate office. The schools are state of the art buildings and all were secured through small business loans building a future for my family. We are committed to continuing to build new schools in our area.

This has been a dream come true to build a family business and provide quality childcare to families in more communities.

With love,
