Our Staff

Jennifer Belisle
Owner
My family and I moved to Somerset in April 2004 where I operated a licensed home child care center for eight wonderful children. A long waiting list at my family child care center, combined with rapid growth of our exciting community, inspired me to bring a group child care center to Somerset where parents know they have a safe, loving, and educationally-stimulating environment for their child/ren. I am in the process of earning my Bachelor degree in early childhood education. My fantastic husband, Pierre, was raised in Somerset. We are both so happy to be implementing such a needed service into our community. Pierre and I have two beautiful children, Juliauna and Pierre II.
