Our Story

Hundred Acre Woods began after the birth of our first child Nicholas in 1994.  I wanted to stay at home and be a mom, because of my love for children but our finances did not allow for that to happen. So, we decided that I would open a daycare in our home.  We added one more child to our family, Lauren in 1996 and our family was complete and our home daycare was growing, so we decided to look for a spot to open a childcare center.   We opened our childcare center in August of 2000 renting a building.  We outgrew that building quickly and in March of 2003 we purchased a building that needed a lot of renovations and had it ready to open the doors in August of 2003.  Since then we have grown and added a 7,500 square foot addition.  During the past 31 years my love for the children's lives we have changed and the amazing families we have met could not be more rewarding.
