When you think of childcare services for your infants, toddlers, and young children, what do you think is the most important component? Do you think it is the curriculum itself—the actual lessons and skills being imparted to your youngsters? Do you think it has something to do with physical fitness—with an emphasis on your kids developing into happy, healthy, and fit people? Or do you think that it is simply a matter of your kids being safe and secure, in an environment where they are nurtured?
No matter which option you pick, the name that needs to be on the tip of your tongue and the forefront of your noggin is Thad Pryor. As the president and CEO of Children of America—one of the largest childcare providers in the country—Thad Pryor is an industry leader who believes that parents shouldn’t have to settle for a childcare provider that excels in just one of these fields. No, parents should have the option of entrusting their kids to a service that will offer holistic development—that is, both body and mind—and also prioritize the ultimate safety and security of the kids in their care.
Indeed, in his tenure at Children of America, Thad Pryor had taken major initiatives in all of these fields, including:
- An expansive curriculum, developed largely by the nationally known childcare expert Dr. Vicki Folds.
- A Presidential Fitness Campaign.
- New procedures to maximize safety and security.
In addition, Thad Pryor has undertaken an ambitious expansion program that will eventually turn Children of America’s 40 locations into 330, scattered throughout the nation—a major undertaking, of course, but ultimately one that he hopes will bring these high-quality services to as many parents and kids as possible. A worthy goal, to be sure; Thad Pryor is leading a revolution in childcare, one that’s making it more accessible, and, more importantly, better for you and your children.
