BRIDGET O’BRIEN
What inspired you to start your business?
Necessity is the mother of all invention. Nineteen years ago, I was a single mom looking for childcare. The options in our area lacked a sense of community or family environment. I sold my house and started my own.
What sets your business and brand apart?
We’re a community with a history. Twenty-five percent of our teachers have been here more than 10 years. More than 90 students have relatives here or graduated SuperKids.
What do you love most about what you do?
Watching our community grow and seeing their accomplishments. Our first class graduates college this year!
What was the hardest thing about getting the business off the ground?
Starting a business is hard. When you do things for the right reasons, it always works out.
How do you juggle a business with family demands?
SuperKids was conceived to be with my own children as much as possible. My daughter chose the name. We strive to make the work/family balance easier for parents with loving developmental and educational programming that promotes family time, too.
