Welcome to episode 65 of the Child Care Genius Podcast! This month we are spotlighting men in child care. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Darren Jones, a remarkable child care owner with a unique perspective. Darren’s venture in the child care business is not only inspiring but also groundbreaking, as he navigates the field as a male owner, defying traditional gender norms.
Darren’s story is a testament to his passion for early childhood education. With five child care academies in Los Angeles, he has created a safe haven for inner-city children, molding young minds and nurturing future leaders. What sets Darren apart is not just his dedication, but also the fact that he manages his centers remotely while residing in Houston, Texas. His ability to successfully run his child care business from a distance showcases his innovative approach and commitment to excellence. Darren highlights the power of a strong leadership team as the cornerstone to remote ownership.

He debunks stereotypes and shares heartwarming anecdotes about the profound impact he has on both children and parents. Darren’s story highlights the importance of representation and how his presence in the child care field has been embraced and admired by both staff and parents alike.
