Welcome to A Place To Grow! My name is Mara and I have a passion for working with young children.
I am a licensed, professional child care provider. I graduated from Bethel University with a degree in Educational Studies where I was able to take many pre-primary classes and get hands on training through practicums in preschool and elementary classrooms. I use both my experience as well as my degree as I help prepare the children in my care for successful futures through educational play and activities. I have over 8 years of childcare experience and I love spending my days with young children!

This is my family! My husband, Christian, is a nurse working for Blue Cross Blue Shield. We have been blessed with two amazing sons! Family is very important to us and we love being able to do things together. My husband is very supportive and involved in my daycare and we strive to make our home a safe, nurturing, and inviting environment for the daycare children. My husband works from our home office so he is always available if there were a need. Along with working on projects around the home my husband and I enjoy going for walks, camping, rock climbing, reading and playing games.
