We, myself and my husband Mark, started our daycare in our home in 2005. At the time it seem like the right thing to do and we felt the leading of the Lord. My husband would always say that his mother (Mrs. Bettye) took care of everyone’s children in the neighborhood so it just seemed natural. I babysat my siblings and we had eight children as well. We have four together and he has four from previous relationships. We as a family ran our daycare in our home for six years. We would always have full shifts and felt we needed more room. Our parents love our services and always encourage us to expand to help more parents. After much consideration we accepted the challenge to expand! In December 2011, my husband opened Bless The Children Daycare center. I assisted him until opening our second center, 10 Hour Care Daycare Center in August 2014. We opened a third location, 10 Hour Care Daycare Center Downtown in June 2016. We opened a fourth location recently in October 2019. We have cared for children in our centers, and in our children’s ministry as well. The Bible says “train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6. We have brought those teachings to the children we come in contact with everyday. God has called us to impact and change the lives of children with love and care through our daycare centers. The Lord has blessed us and trusted us with the care of His children. We count it an honor and blessing and are truly grateful! .
