I was hired at Tutor Time (Portage, MI) in 2015, moved to Lansing in 2019 to become the director at Childtime until it's doors closed in 2021. I then transferred to Tutor Time in Okemos in 2021 to take on the director role. As a team, we are dedicated to ensure that all children are safe and given the best care.
