My name is Kelly Pritchard. When my husband (John) and I were looking to start a business, we had several criteria we wanted to meet. First, we wanted to start a business we knew would help others and make a difference in people’s lives. Second, we wanted our two boys, Jonathan (11) & Josh (9) to get involved. Finally, it would have to be something we are extremely passionate about and truly understand. That being said, when we thought about educational based childcare; it became self evident.

One of the biggest challenges we faced for the last 11 plus years has been childcare for our boys. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to the Houston area just over 6 years ago. We’ve been to a number of different childcare centers ranging from in home to Montessori as well as the usual small & large franchise daycares.  We have truly experienced it all – both good and bad. Educational based childcare is how we decided to make a difference. After what was an exhausting search, we found Childrens Lighthouse and were immediately drawn to their unparalleled curriculum, extraordinary safety standards, and community focused mission. 

As parents we have the highest expectations in what we want for our children and we want to provide that for all the children & families in the community. I want to take the stress off of the parents' plates because I understand how hard it can be. I could share with you my resume, which includes management, multi-unit operations, and even distribution (operations). For me, what it really comes down to is having a passion for what you believe in. As my mom used to say: “Treat others how you want to be treated!"

We are creating a wonderful environment of learning, loving, and empowering your children every day. It’s going to be something very special at Childrens Lighthouse of Lake Houston.  I’m so excited for the opportunity to impact so many lives and provide your children with love and the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
