Our History
The front of the building.
One of our family’s favorite part of our center is the outdoor area. We have 4 different sections. This is the PreK play yard. We also have another yard for 2-3 year olds, a bigger play area for the older kids and a splash pad for hot summer days!
Our Start.
Country Bumpkins Child Care Inc. was founded in 1989, after Angie Johnson went looking for a child care center for her 2 children. After visiting a few centers she quickly realized quality child care was needed in her area.
She opened a small learning space in her family’s living room and was licensed for 45 children.
The center grew quickly and the center took over the Johnson’s home. The family moved out and the whole house became the first center.
Angie’s daughter, Jaime, is a registered nurse and eventually joined the family business.
Fire and Rebuild.
In 1995, a fire destroyed the whole center, leaving Angie and Jaime looking for a new job in child care.
After a few months they both knew Country Bumpkins had to be rebuilt.
One year later, Country Bumpkins was once again open to the public, this time licensed for 75 children.
Today.
The popularity of Country Bumpkins continued to grow. In 2009, the center expanded, adding 3 new classrooms and space for 105 children.
Country Bumpkins remains family owned and operated and dedicated to our core value of creating a warm and happy environment for children to learn and grow.
