    Della Ramsey, MAED, Co-Owner/VP of Operations

    At a young age, I knew I wanted to work with young children. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in education with a specialization in Early Childhood Education, a Master of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, and a School Library Media Graduate Certificate. My philosophy is to never stop learning. I have now worked with children for over 20 years in many different capacities including teaching in a public school setting as well as child care centers. I also have several years of experience with administration of child care centers. Throughout the years, I have learned that child care needs go beyond learning. Before children learn, they must feel comfortable in a safe and healthy environment. When a child feels safe and healthy, that environment positively fosters children’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. I feel that a positive environment is needed in order for children to fully understand love, encouragement, and respect. My commitment to our parents is that I will treat your child as my own and work with you to understand your individual goals for your child. I will provide you with support and knowledge through the different stages of your child’s development. I can’t wait to welcome you to our Kiddie Academy family!
