The Growing Place
Our Staff   |   Safety  

The quality of our service is a direct result of the fact that each and every member of our staff truly enjoys childcare. Their educational, professional, and personal backgrounds reflect extensive experience and training in child development.

Not only are most of the staff members parents themselves, but also almost all of The Growing Place staff has elementary education or early childhood education certification, or are working towards this goal.  All lead teachers must have at least five years experience working with children.  All staff will be CPR and first aid trained!  All staff will have a criminal history and child abuse background check as well.

Kelly Ford - Owner and Founder of The Growing Place

Kelly has a Bachelor’s Degree in early childhood education and has worked in childcare for 10 years.  Kelly worked as an assistant director for four years at another accredited facility with the same size and scope as the new facility.  Her previous job responsibilities have made her innately familiar with the requirements needed to run a daycare facility for 100 children.  She has been running an in-home daycare for the past three years.  Kelly saw the demand for quality care in the area, and decided to expand.

Candice Werner - Director

Candice has an elementary education degree from West Chester University.  Candice has been working with children for over eight years in public school, private school, and preschool settings.  She is very excited to expand and grow with her friends at The Growing Place.
