Chris Ferry grew up in a home that was always full of children. Her mother, Sally, ran an in-home daycare for thirty years and showed Chris the importance of caring for and nurturing our children. It wasn’t until Chris became a grandmother to six kids in just a few short years that she realized her own passion of exploring the world of childcare. In 2020 Chris opened the doors to her first childcare and preschool center, Theodore’s Academy, named after her father Theodore (Ted). Chris is a successful entrepreneur in western Iowa who also runs insurance and staffing businesses. Her extra time is spent with her family.
