Meet The Director!

Claire Hofman

I grew up right here in Roscoe and have always had a passion for working with kids and helping them learn and grow. I have been working in childcare for almost 10 years and have always loved Preschool. I have been the director of multiple preschool programs within daycare centers. There’s nothing more rewarding then helping a child understand a concept they didn’t know before. I truly love every second of what I do!
