Management team / founders

"For 28 years, Celebree School has been a trusted partner for entrepreneurs looking to make an impact on the next generation. More than an exciting economic opportunity, Celebree owners create positive change in their community. In 1994, Richard Huffman inaugurated his inaugural child care facility, Enchanted Child Care, in Ellicott City, MD, employing a staff of 25. By 1996, a second site, named after the Parkville neighborhood it served, quickly reached capacity, prompting Richard to assemble a team for expansion. By 1997, two additional locations debuted in Bel Air and Frederick, boasting over 100 employees tending to 400 children. Rebranded as Celebree Learning Centers® in 2002, the company solidified its core values and expanded to 11 locations. By 2006, with 13 sites spanning 5 Maryland counties, Celebree employed 420 individuals caring for over 1000 children. By 2012, equipped with established infrastructure and employee development initiatives, Celebree nurtured over 2,100 children, prioritizing talent, brand, and operations. Their Support Center aids school teams, allowing directors and teachers to concentrate on safeguarding, educating, and nurturing children. This holistic support structure ensures continuous access to top-tier training, development, human resources, marketing, operations, and business administration assistance, empowering staff to excel in their roles daily."
