"It is out of love and respect for my grandma, that I chose to continue her passion of childcare. That passion has now become my passion."
Amanda L McCallum, Founder and Executive Director
We Believe that children are the future!
Our mission as an early education center is to make child care and learning a positive, nurturing and educational experience for all children and families. We offer a program with an emphasis on the development of the child, both as an individual and a member of the community. This program will incorporate a developmentally appropriate learning environment that supports the child through all aspects of his/her learning – socially, emotionally and academically. We will give them the foundational tools for success, as the children become lifelong learners.
Not only will we support the child and their learning but we will support the families by giving them resources and support where needed.
Our Team
We care for your kids like our own.

My Grandmother, Marlene Martin, opened a day care called Kiddie Korral when I was a young child. She owned and operated that day care for over 20 years. I spent every opportunity I had going to work with Grandma. Then as I got older, I started working for her. Sadly, as Grandma got older she could no longer work or run the daycare. My Aunt Sandy then opened a center called Lil’ Angels. By that time, I was married with children of my own, so my children went to Lil’ Angels and I worked there part time. Time went on and Aunt Sandy sold her center and then I opened a Licensed in home Center, Kiddie Korral II, which I have run in 2 different states since about 2000. My husband, Joe, retired after 20 years in the Air Force in 2016. Since then, he and I have been running Kiddie Korral 2.0together.
That brings us to today; Joe and I have 7 incredible children of our own. The ages of our children are: Mackenzie , Alexandria, Tristan, Caleb, Autumn, Aspen, and Colton. Mackenzie has made us grandparents to 2 amazing kiddos, Joshua is 5 and Amari is 3. Our family loves camping, hunting, and motorcycles! We spend almost every weekend doing 1 or all of those activities.
Serving Christ and our Community is our number one goal!
