Amy Woodrow

Owner

Hello, my name is Amy Woodrow, and I am the proud owner of All About Kidz.  After working in childcare for 8 years and attending Pennsylvania State University for early childhood, in 2010, I decided to pursue my dreams and open a learning center.  Over the past few years, I have watched my business grow with love, passion, and teachers who are dedicated to the early childhood field. My goal is to provide the community with a learning center that stands out from the rest.  My dreams of owning a center and becoming a part of each's child's every day routine and love for education have been nothing short of amazing. I also have four children of my own.  Joseph (20), Joshua (17),

Angelo (8), and Angelina (3) Being a mother to my own children as well as all of my children at AAK is the most rewarding job that I could possibly have.
