Thad Pryor—A Parents’ Partner in Childcare

As President and CEO of Children of America, Thad Pryor is creating quite a buzz in the childcare industry. The forerunner of educational services for infants and toddlers, Children of America currently has over 46 locations in the country. This is not by accident.

The vision and mission of Thad Pryor has touched many parents across the country and is changing the way people look at care for their children. The centers offer more than simple “babysitting” for the child, and is part of the reason Children of America has become the leader in the field.

Today’s family is a busy unit. Often, both parents are part of the workforce, and raising children can be a stressful job. Parents look for options for childcare that match their goals and ideals. Thad Pryor’s Children of America Center is the go-to leader in the area of quality childcare and education. Parents fall in love with that flexibility that the centers offer. With programs ranging from the summer camp—called Camp WOW—to after and before care, parents will not struggle to find a fit for their child. This is an example of the partnership Thad Pryor wanted to create with parents.

Many parents will also tell you that security is a very important feature when choosing a childcare center. Everyone wants to know that they are putting their child in caring, nurturing hands. This was one of the major areas of concern of Thad Pryor when he took over the company, and parents’ concerns have been answered. Each childcare center offers a completely secure environment for the children. That environment includes a staff that is well-trained in emergency procedures, and a safety inspected play area for the children. Thad Pryor also requires of his staff to go an extra step and ensure that there are regular hand washings throughout the day to lessen the spread of germs.

Children of America centers are a parent’s best partner when it comes to care for their child. The entire curriculum, created by childcare expert Dr. Vicki Folds, is designed with the goal of developing a well-rounded, socially competent person. Thad Pryor, as CEO, chose Dr. Folds to help create this curriculum due to her 35 years of experience in childhood education. Children are moved into a classroom setting at an early age as a way to prepare them for a lifetime of learning.

Parents are flocking to Children of America and there are 200 or so additional centers planned to open in the near future. The vision and leadership of Thad Pryor  has become the standard for childcare education services and a great partner for today’s parent.
