Meet Jess, Owner/CEO of TWGKC
Meet Jess — mom of three boys, farmer’s wife, and a lifelong baby whisperer with a big heart. After 15 years as a Registered Nurse, Jess followed her calling into Early Childhood Education—first opening an in-home program and now a group child care center to better serve families across Dunn County.
Her philosophy is simple: quality care, safety first, and childhood preserved—with play, nature, and nurturing relationships at the center. She believes little ones deserve to be little just a bit longer. 🙂
When she’s not at the center, you’ll likely find Jess at the hockey rink or baseball field, cheering on her boys.
