In this heartwarming episode of "Parenting with a Purpose," we promise to unravel the transformative power of parental engagement. Joining us is Kelley Bowers, a remarkable figure in early childhood education, who shares her inspiring journey from managing a home daycare to founding a thriving childcare center within her church. Kelly's 32 years of experience shine through as she discusses the crucial role parents play in laying down the foundation for their children to grow into future world leaders.
Our conversation takes you on a journey through the evolution of early childhood education, particularly focusing on Kelly's successful center in Wilmington, Delaware. Discover how her center expanded to include multiple classrooms and transportation services, ensuring children are both educationally and spiritually prepared for kindergarten. With the integration of the Abeka curriculum, Kelly emphasizes the blend of Christian values with academic learning, nurturing children's confidence as they step into the wider world. We also tackle parenting challenges, sharing personal stories and insights that bring out the joys and responsibilities of this noble role.
