Our Teachers

Nichol Woodward, Owner/Director

Nichol has worked in childcare since she was 18. When she was in high school she also was a nanny for two elementary kiddos. She pursued her early childhood education from Ozark Technical Community College. Nichol and her husband Cody purchased the daycare in November of 2022. Once they received notice that the daycare their children attended was up for sale they jumped at the opportunity. Nichol knew in her heart that this was the path God intended her to take. She is passionate about family and encouraging a strong foundation in Jesus. Her favorite thing about what she does is seeing a child flourish and love the person they are becoming.

Location

We are located in the heart of Crane! Right down the road from SunFest Market and a few streets over from the school!
