Our Owner's Story

Hello! My name is Melissa Knight. I am a proud parent of two very active boys that both started and attended all of their early childhood years at The Village Learning Center. My husband and I bought the daycare and took over in October of 2016. My oldest son had already been attending the center for 3 years when we took over. Owning a daycare was something I knew I wanted to do since working in them when I was younger. I started working in daycare when I was 16 years old. It was my first job and something I knew I wanted to do since I was a little girl. I always loved babies and little kids. I worked in daycare the rest of my high school and college days. I graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor’s Degree and then University of St. Thomas with a Masters in Educational Leadership. After 1 year of substitute teaching, I became a 4th grade Elementary teacher. I taught for 3 years and then moved into Administration. I was an Elementary principal for 9 years and then resigned to be more involved at The Village Learning Center and available for my boy’s. I have been very blessed and fortunate to have these years’ experience and given the opportunity that I did at a young age. Education, especially during the early childhood ages, is very important to me. In addition to loving, caring, and nurturing your babies. I am very involved and present at the center so I look forward to seeing you and your little ones around.
