Meet The Team
Veronica Nelson
Executive Director
I have over 22 years in early childhood education, ranging from Teacher’s Aid to Program Director. I was hired as Program Director for Child Time and after 6 years of overseeing daily operations, my family was given the opportunity to purchase the company. I have 3 wonderful boys who attended the schools and as a mother, an educator and an administrator, I can say that this is a wonderful program that I am very proud to be a part of.
