My name is Diana Caldwell. My husband and I have owned and operated the Cultural Enrichment Academy, Inc. (CEA) since 2006. However, the initial inception of owning and operating a daycare occurred years earlier as we searched for the ideal facility for our grandson in 1992. With this ideal in mind, we have attempted to establish a daycare which contains many of the qualities we wished for him during his daycare days.
My experience working with children began in 1977 as a child care specialist with Army Community Services in Wiesbaden, Germany. While working with this program, I developed a genuine interest in the early development of young children. Additional educational and professional experiences have been in social work (BS, 1986) and counseling (MS, 1991). My most recent accomplishment has been the acquisition of the Child Development Associate Credential in December 2009 and a two-year member of NAFCC. My future goal is to obtain accreditation from NAEYC.
