Jillian McElroy

Director

Hello my name is Jillian McElroy. I am a Director and Preschool Teacher at Creative Care Too. I have been a part of The Creative Care Family since 2006. I graduated from Chaplain College in Burlington, Vermont with my degree in Early Childhood Education.

I absolutely love working with children and can’t imagine doing anything else. When away from work I like to spend my time with family and friends rock climbing, skiing, camping and swimming.
 

Jennifer Vena-Perry

Director

*Hello, my name is Jennifer Vena-Perry and I am the Director here at Creative Care. I graduated from West Chester University in May 1998 with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. After graduating I took a position working with infants at the West Point Child Learning Center for the Merck Pharmaceutical Company. Although my degree was in Elementary Education I quickly realized where my heart belonged; working with young children. During my three years there I was quickly promoted to Supervisor of the Infant Suite. Through that position I further strengthened my leadership, time management, and organizational skills, which prepared me for my future position as a Center Director.

*I worked at Tot-Time Child Development Centers, Inc. for five years as a Center Director. There I was able to work closely with other directors in the company to learn more of the skills and techniques that were essential for my position. As a Director, I take a lot of pride in providing a clean, safe learning environment with educated, personable staff who take the same pride in educating and caring for young children.
As a parent of two wonderful children, I feel that I am more understanding of the needs and concerns of the parents at my center. I also feel that being a mother has served as an additional learning experience. It has provided me with knowledge about the growth and development of young children that cannot be obtained from college courses. I think every parent knows that raising your own child(ren) is completely different from teaching someone else’s. I am looking forward to the many chapters that are yet to come!

*I was very enthusiastic about the opportunity to open a new center for the Creative Care Childcare Company in November 2006. With the help of my dedicated staff I feel I have created a center that you and your child will look forward to attending everyday!
