| About Jodi |
New mom Jodi Partlo returned to her full-time position just 2 months after having her son Benjamin. "It's hard to leave a child in a strange facility in the care of unfamiliar people." Partlo felt firsthand the need for a center that offered quality care as well as a place that would allow her entire family to feel involved. "I wanted a space that we could all come and play in a safe, healthy, clean, and interactive environment." She envisioned a center where families could spend time together getting to know the staff and surroundings before enrolling their children in one of the many programs offered. A center with lead teachers holding undergraduate degrees in childhood development, following a creative curriculum, offering a healthy fresh menu, and employing energetic staff that loved their work.

Prior to working at KiddieKlub I was offered the wonderful opportunity to incorporate CMU’s child development program into my classroom and mentor student teachers who were studying in the field.

I have two sisters and two brothers who I am very close with. I enjoy spending time with both my immediate and extended family. I also enjoy traveling, enjoying the outdoors, camping, and having fun! I always welcome a new experience into my life!
