Joey Scherschel, Owner/Director

My name is Joey Scherschel but most children usually call me Jo-Jo. I started in child care in January of 96 working as the Department Head of Dunn Memorial Hospitals three child care facilities. In March of 2001, Dunn closed their facilities and I leased a building from Dunn for the next 5 years providing child care. In August 2005 construction started at our current location and we opened the doors in December 2005.

I have attended hundreds of hours of trainings on child development and early childhood topics over the years. I received my Child Development Associative Credential in 1999 from Ivy Tech State College and hold my Bachelors from Indiana University.

I was born and raised here in Lawrence County and I have one sister Stormi Scherschel Jones and I have one nephew Jett and a niece Mallorie. My one only child, Kade, was born in 2008 and he is a papaw’s boy.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, boating, and playing angry birds. I absolutely love my job. Children are my passion.

OUR MISSION: Where Futures Begin strives to provide quality care, a stimulating environment, and developmentally appropriate practices for children ages 6 weeks old to 12 years of age. We are the highest-rated, Level 4, on Indiana’s Paths to QUALITY. We are a Nationally Accrediated Child Care Program.The program is designed to nourish the development of the child in four basic areas: physical, social, mental, and emotional. This goal is attained through the following: well-balanced meals prepared under the guidelines of the Federal Child Care Food Program, gross motor activities- games that provide friendly interaction with peers, hands-on activities such as finger-painting, sand play; music and blocks that develop pre-reading and writing skills, easily-accessible books for all ages and a loving and positive atmosphere in which to grow and play and learn.

Konsènan pwogram nou an

Where Futures Begin is a nationally accredited child care facility. We are licensed through the State of Indiana. Our capacity is 32 full-time children aged 6 weeks to 12 years of age.

You will find that our facility provides a supportive, nurturing, and safe atmosphere in which individual and cultural differences are valued. Our curriculum is designed to reflect children’s differing needs, interests and developmental levels. We also recognize play as children’s work. It is through play that young children “make sense” of the world around them. We want you to realize the importance of play and what your child is learning.

Enrollment in our program offers your child social experiences that might not be available to them in relationships with adults or siblings. With many friends their own age, a child encounters lots of opportunities to negotiate and compromise. Children are encouraged to express opinions and ideas, as well as to respect others. Also, parent-school collaboration helps to insure that our program meets the need’s of the children.
