Kent and ALISON PFEISTER, OWNERs
Kent Pfeister has a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in outdoor education from the University of Akron. He recently retired from full-time teaching, having spent 36 years as a health and physical-education teacher. He coached college football at The University of Akron, and he also coached high-school football, baseball, basketball and track. With six daughters, it is no wonder that Kent also coached girls’ softball, soccer, golf and basketball. Alison Pfeister has a bachelor’s degree in education from The Ohio State University and a master’s degree in guidance/education from Columbia University. She began her teaching career at a private school in New York City. She then moved on and attended law school at The University of Akron. When their youngest daughter, Alexandra, was born, they were confronted with the challenge of finding full-time child care. She found that the local child-care centers did not meet their standards for quality so they decided to open a child-care center that would provide exactly what they wanted for their youngest daughter and future grand-children.
