MeMe’s Little Learners Family Childcare is a new in-home childcare provider. Care is provided to preschool children through a nurturing and safe environment. Melissa Allen, the owner, has completed her associate degree in early childhood development from Wilkes Community College, training through Wilkes Partnership for Children, and several required certifications to become licensed. She is working on her last semester of classes to complete her bachelor’s in early childhood education, which is a necessary step to becoming a licensed childcare provider. Being licensed will give Melissa more childcare spots for MeMe’s Little Learners Family Childcare. Melissa received $2,000 for learning materials for her childcare space.
