Todd and Veronica Hunnicutt
Opening our school in 2008 and building our family of current and past students has been truly an honor. Originally from Texas, we moved to Arizona in 2001. We both attended Hardin-Simmons University and Todd received his CPA and later an MBA from Southern Methodist University. Todd held the position of Chief Financial Officer for multiple companies serving the financial services industry. Veronica was with State Farm for sixteen years before having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. She has the unique perspective of having both a working career with children in preschool as well as children in a stay-at-home environment. We have two daughters, Kristen and Kathryn, both University of Arizona graduates. Kristen completed her Masters in Education at GCU and taught in the Cincinnati school district for four years. She resumed her leadership role at the school in 2019 when her husband, Andrew, completed medical school. They have two beautiful children, James and Lucy. Kathryn and Steven were married in November of 2024. Kathryn received her law degree from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University in 2020. She is with a large Phoenix firm and enjoys all aspects of her career. Our greatest joy is simply spending time together as a family with our children, spouses and grandchildren!
Our interest in opening a premier educational pre-school was twenty plus years in the making. As working parents, we had the rare fortune of finding quality educational child care. It helped to shape our children’s lives and foster their love of education. Our girls thoroughly enjoyed their childcare experience. It is our goal for every parent to experience that same peace of mind. We recognize the importance parents place on the safety and education of their children. We are committed to living up to that trust by creating a happy and nurturing environment. As owners, we are actively involved and excited to deliver the best educational experience possible! We appreciate what it means to have an impact on a child’s life and we always treat each child as if they are our own. This drives every decision we make.
