Hello. Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Hudson and Betsy Gray. We own The Village Preschools and Early Education Centers. We have been married for 10 years. We have a wonderful daughter, Jennifer Gray and infant granddaughter, Lexi. Jennifer is based at our Sango site as our Administrative Assistant to our Quality Assurance Administrator. We strive to provide the highest quality care and most developmentally appropriate educational enrichment for children in our program.

Hudson, Angie and I have over 50 years of combined experience in Early Childhood Education. We have the background and knowledge to combine our high quality program attributes and still provide affordable care for your child. Please see Ms. Angelia Thomas’s biography for more information about our commitment to quality. We are the only child care company in this area who has a full time Quality Assurance person to make sure our commitment to quality is in practice each day. Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We look forward to the privilege of caring for your child.

 We share our home with 2 Great Pyrenees Sugar and Chevy. They were both rescued from shelters. We also have our dear old friend a 10 yr. old Sheltie named Mickey. When he was 12 weeks old, Mickey was given up for adoption from a soldier who was given an overseas permanent change of station. We encourage adoption from shelters. There are great animals needing a forever home. Please consider one when looking for your family pet.

Welcome from the Owners
Quality Assurance Administrator
Hello, My name is Angelia Thomas. It is my main goal to provide the highest quality for the children and families we have the privilege to serve at The Village Preschools and Early Education Centers.

I have been in the field of Early Childhood for 19 years as a Teacher, Director, as well as a trainer and consultant for the state.

I have been with The Village since 2003 starting as a Director, then as Administrator of all 4 centers. I now hold the position as Quality Assurance Administrator for each site.

I hold a current Child Development Associate Credential (1996), Early Childhood Certificate (2004), Early Childhood Education Degree (2008), and will graduate November 2010 with a Early Chidhood Administration Degree.

I am married to my husband John for 26 years and we have three wonderful children; Stephen (23), Hailey (20), and Allison (16).

I believe all children should be valued and families respected. With these kind of values we can make a difference, touch a life, and help the world be a better place for children to live.
