Michelle Schultz

Owner | Administrator

I've wanted to open a daycare all of my life really. I have over twenty years experience working as a teacher and a director and owning Growing Stars CDC has been a dream come true!

​

This facility is giving these kids a home during the day once again and it feels good to help out the community.

​

The teachers do lesson plans and they follow a schedule during the day. It's themed based so they'll plan different activities for them to do throughout the week.

​

I'm proud of my quality staff and the children who come here could not be in better hands.

Ever since I was little I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. I enjoy being with children and helping them learn and grow. I love being able to play with the children and do fun activities with them.

 

I know that I have picked the perfect career for me. I love coming to work every day and seeing all the children’s smiling faces. I truly love what I do!

I have been in daycare for over 10 years and I enjoy it. During those years I have taken many classes pertaining to childcare even a college.

I have 23 years’ experience in early childhood, I have worked in centers and subbed for the Sparta school district. I have also worked with children and adults with disabilities.

I enjoy working with children of all ages, but especially the babies. I go above and beyond to make sure your child is well cared for while you are away at work. It is fun to see their first of everything and to put a smile on their faces.
