Thank you for your interest in Creative Beginnings Children's Academy. Please allow me to introduce myself and the Academy. I have a Bachelor's degree in Child Development Studies which I received from the University of Nebraska. I have worked in child care for 12 years as a teacher, an Assistant Director and a Director. I have been married to my husband, Jeremy, for thirteen years. He is a High School science teacher and you may see him around the facility helping out or interacting with the children. We have two wonderful children. Our daughter Rylan is eleven and our son Jace is seven. After our second child was born, my husband and I dreamed of opening a quality but affordable child care center. We spent a year developing a curriculum and building design that would meet the developmental needs of the children and the expectations of the parents. With a themed-based curriculum, appropriate class sizes, quality teachers, and a family-oriented atmosphere, we believe that Creative Beginnings Children's Academy has fulfilled that dream. Early Childhood has always been a big part of my life. I am dedicated to making Creative Beginnings a stimulating and nurturing environment that serves the best interests of the children. I welcome all parent participation, comments and suggestions. Please feel free to talk to me at anytime. Candace Mahoney Director and CEO
