Jennifer's Joyful Journeys is managed by a reliable team and overseen by our company owner, Jennifer L. Sargent. Jennifer has more than 20 years of experience in working with children of all ages.
Her passion started at the age of 15 when she worked with multiple family-owned businesses. Seeing the love the women in her family had for children on top of their expertise, made it easy for Jennifer to follow in their footsteps.
Realizing the value of good experience in order to give her very best, Jennifer started off volunteering and mentoring children through social service programs and working with some of the top child care programs in Illinois & Missouri.
In 2018, Jennifer decided to follow her dream and open a home-based childcare program, Jennifer's Joyful Journeys.
Jennifer holds an Associate degree in Early Childhood Development and a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Management. She, also has a host of childcare certifications through the state of Illinois, including CPR & First Aid, advanced certifications in Caregiving Consulting, Human Resource Development, Safety Care, and years of experience as a Care Manager.
With the children she cares for being her biggest inspiration since the opening of Jennifer's Joyful Journeys, Jennifer made her debut as a children's author in 2022 with the first book of her book series, "I AM ALL that GOD SAYS I AM (Kingdom Kid Affirmations).
Jennifer has always been passionate about helping people and wanting to make a huge impact on young children. She believes in the quality of life and that every experience should be meaningful.
