The Beginning of Clover Hill ELC

My dream has always been to open my own early learning center since I began my career in early childhood education 26 years ago. My most recent position was a principal of an early learning program for a large school district for the past nine years. This experience helped gain the knowledge to oversee a preschool and childcare program. I found the confidence to finally take the big leap to achieve my dream of opening my own early learning program.

When my husband and I purchased the building at the end of May 2023, we knew the building had so much work that needed to be done to make it a safe and high-quality center that I dreamed of owning. We knew this was going to take a lot of time and perseverance, but were ready for the challenge! 

Over the next 6 months from May 2023 - October 2023, we spent all of our evenings and weekends remodeling the building from top to bottom while continuing to work our current full time jobs and keep up with our two busy boys. We knew it would all be worth it once we opened the center and that time was coming very soon.

Finally, in the middle of November 2023 we had our state licensing inspection that finally gave us the go ahead to open. I couldn't wait to start welcoming our new Clover Hill Early Learning Center, Park Campus families into our center. Our grand opening for the community was on November 8th and we began welcoming children on November 27, 2023. My staff and I were very excited to see all of the new faces coming into the new center. 

I'm very excited to announce that our second location, Allen Campus will be opening in the summer of 2025. My hope is to keep enrolling more children into our centers, and continue to expand our services in the future so that we can provide more program opportunities for children in our community.
