Director of Operations - David Caldwell
Born and raised in Texas, David received a double major in Economics and Environmental Studies from Baylor University. As husband to Ann Marie, and co-owner, he brings many skill sets to support his wife and The Childhood Center. David spent many summers in his youth lifeguarding and then later as a Water Safety Instructor teaching life saving. David also worked as a camp coordinator at several different summer camps, and later moved to Ecuador to work at a bi-lingual school teaching ancient Greek and Roman history to ninth graders. Although he didn’t pursue a degree to work with children he was always praised for his ability to entertain and educate children.
Today David is father of 3 children and the step-father to 3 more, and although 6 children is a handful at times he finds his life more rewarding and interesting than he ever thought possible. Now with the opening of The Childhood Center, his wife’s life long dream, he is thrilled to be a part of being a positive influence and roll model for other children as well.
David is currently:
- Assistant Scout Master for a BSA Boy Scout Troop
- A Knight of Columbus member
- A team member for A.C.T.S. retreats
David's influences at The Childhood Center are to ensure a safe and VOC-/toxin-free environment. He oversees construction and using as many low- to no-VOC products as possible. He also has an extensive background in electronics and helps in setting up a security system and cameras to ensure the safety and security of your children. David is a very protective father and wants to make sure parents feel as comfortable leaving their children at The Childhood Center as they would leaving them with family.
