  Heather Eller

  Heather has been a member of KinderCare for a short time but has many years experience in the field of Early Childhood Education, the majority of those in management. She has a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from West Chester University and has continued to obtain college credits in Early Childhood Education over the years. Heather's vision is to provide a safe and quality educational setting for her families where the children excel in their growth and learning. Heather began her career in the field as a Toddler teacher, eventually working her way to becoming the Operations Director at another Child Care Center. Through the years she has discovered that being a director is where her heart truly lies. Coaching and leading a group of teachers who are passionate about education is only one part of what makes her job so rewarding. Being able to build relationships with every child and parent at the school allows her to understand the impact they have on their families and their futures.
