Owner Melissa K Komen
Melissa K. Komen began providing care for children in her Illinois home in 1998.  In 2004 she, her husband and their two children made the move to Arizona.  Within a few months she was opening her home to children in her new home in Gold Canyon.  Her goal was to eventually provide care for more children by expanding.  In October of 2011 she opened the doors of her commercial location to care for 62 children.  "Even though we are bigger in size, our philosophy is still to provide individualized care with consistency in teachers.
