Amy's journey in early childhood education began at the age of 19. Starting as a preschool teacher, she quickly became Assistant Director in 2010. Amy joined Brookland Learning Center a few years later and has led the team as the Director since 2013. Under her leadership, the center has earned the prestigious "Best Childcare Center in Hunt County" title for several years. With a non-expiring Director's License, Amy is passionate about creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, spending time at the lake, and attending jet boat races with her husband and two children.

Kellie has been a dedicated member of the Brookland Learning Center team for over 12 years. She has worked with various age groups, including the 2-year-old, 3-year-old, and schooler classrooms, and has served as the Education Director since 2016. Kellie also supports the administrative team in the office.

Kellie is a proud graduate of Royse City High School. After initially working in childcare for five years, she explored a successful career in retail, culminating as a Store Manager at Ross.
