Mr. Dave’s love of children was the impetus for him to enter the preschool business. Pursuant to a long career in Corporate America, he realized he wanted to leave the business world and instead, do something he would find very rewarding - owning a school that prides itself on fun learning experiences for children. Day in and day out, he leaves the school with a smile on his face as he sees our caring and attentive teachers provide the children with countless opportunities to grow in a safe and loving environment. Mr. Dave’s biggest priorities are the health and safety of all the children. You can find Mr. Dave spending his spare time with one, or all, of his five children and two grandchildren watching a game and enjoying a good pizza!
