"All progress takes place outside the comfort zone."

                  -- Michael John Bobak

Mrs. Alma came into my life just when I needed her the most.  Being the owner of Candy Cane's Daycare for 10 years (a Family Home Daycare) with the help of Mrs. Alma I opened an additional center right across the street from my home daycare.  When my center opened it was fully furnish will new equipment received through a $68,000 grant written by Mrs.  Alma. 

Mrs. Alma left me with all the important tools needed to be a successful owner of two (2)  Childcare centers in my community.  Both Candy Cane's Daycare and Candy Cane's Learning Center are 3 star rated centers and I thank Mrs. Alma for providing my staff with all the training needed for us to accomplish this goal.  My family and I are very thankful for Mrs. Alma, and she is awesome at what she does.

"Unity is strength…

When there is teamwork and collaboration,

Wonderful things can be achieved.”

At the age of three my mother quit her job teaching and  opened a child care center to make sure the primary school years for my sister and I would be developed with sound teaching and supportive teachers. 

​

Thirty years later, my mother is retired and continues to teach others in the child care industry.  I am now the owner/director of Bright Start Preschool.  My mother has been a beacon of light that has drawn me from a career as an architect to that of a Child Care Director.  My husband and I now own the Child Care Center.

​

My mom, Alma Williams, has been instrumental in helping me to find my niche in life.  I could not have asked for a better profession that never feels like a job, but rather a place where new adventures are embraced daily!  Thanks Mom!
