AIM Academy Childcare Center

In the summer of 2024, Mallory asked me if I would partner with her on opening a daycare. I brushed it off at first thinking she wasn’t serious. She even drew a lovely sketch of her idea of building something for it (using “lovely” loosely 🤣). We talked about location, amount of kids we wanted, and how our roles would look. We had no idea where to start but I told her “yes” and we started making calls. We established our LLC, looked for a place to build, realized that wouldn’t work for us, then found a building to renovate. We’ve made countless calls, researched all the things we didn’t understand, and built our daycare. We’ve found teachers that we know will love our kids and we’ve found some amazing parents to stick with us even through multiple date changes for opening 🫣. Then the day we’ve been waiting for, the Certificate of Occupancy! We’ve cried tears of frustration and tears of joy! We made it and we will finally open Monday, December 22! Thank you all who have helped us along this journey and have sent prayers our way! ❤️
