Helping your child develop and learn
Lisa Helvey
Owner of Omaha & Papillion / Director OmahaI have been in the childcare industry for over 15 years. For nine years I was a supervisor at a gym in the kids center and three and half years as an Assistant Director at a local Childcare center. I have been married for 30 years to my husband Clay. We have three children Caitlyn, Courtney and Clifton and 5 grandchildren Jaxson, Aubrey, Bryson, Whitney & Blake. I am very passionate about children and love working with them to see them succeed! There is nothing better than a hug from a child or a child’s laughter!
Jeanna Pine
Owner of Omaha & PapillionI have a bachelor’s degree in Business Communication from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. My husband Tashone and I live in the Gretna area with our 4 children Alexa, Aliyah, Treyvn & Saige. Before purchasing our first center in 2016 with Lisa, I ran my own In-Home daycare for 9 years. I spend most my free time driving kids to Soccer, Basketball, Cheer and Football and love to sneak in a date night when I can. Growing up in a large family I always loved caring for children but my passion for creating a unique environment where children can grow at their own pace, learn in a healthy, safe, fun-loving environment started when our son Treyvn was born with Down Syndrome. The first few years of development in a child’s life are so important. Experiencing the childcare world as a special needs parent I knew we needed to do better for our children. So, each day I strive to create stronger relationships with the children and parents to understand how we as childcare providers can meet their individual child’s needs.
Julie Merriman
Owner / Director PapillionI have been married to my husband Matt for 14 years. We live in Blair community and enjoy spending time on our lake. I have been an employee at Through the Years Childcare Omaha for the last 13 yrs. I have had the amazing opportunity to be the Assistant Director at the Omaha location for the last 5 years. I have loved this position as it allows me to not only interact with my staff, but also with all of the kids and families within the center. I feel very blessed to also take on the roll as owner with Lisa and Jeanna on the second location in Papillion. Childcare has always been my passion and being able to provide care for families in the Omaha and Papillion area is a dream come true.
