Carlson
Owners
Hello! We are The Carlson Family and we are the owners of Kids R Kids Crabapple which we purchased in 2021. We have two wonderful children, Ledger and Holland, along with an adorable golden doodle named Bentley. Before purchasing Kids R Kids Crabapple we had long talked about taking this path and are excited everyday to be here. Whether it is a first time parent or a parent with years of experience, we know that choosing an early childhood learning center is an important family decision. Our goal is to provide the best preschool experience for every family that enters our school so that they may leave with the peace of mind knowing that their child is receiving unmatched care and education everyday.
Ashley Handley
Billing Specialist
Hello my name is Ashley Handley and I am the Billing Specialist at Kids R Kids Crabapple. I have been with Kids R Kids Crabapple family since 2019 and have an additional 11 year of experience in the early childhood education field. I have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Development and Technical Management. I have always had a passion for working with children, and I love building relationships with each family and child. I was born and raised in Minnesota and moved to Georgia three years ago with my husband and two dogs. We will welcome our first daughter in late 2022. My favorite part about Kids R Kids is the "hug first, then teach" philosophy. I cannot wait to welcome you to our school!
Taylor Watkins
Assistant Director
My name is Taylor Watkins and I am an Assistant Director at Kids R Kids Crabapple. I was born and raised in Roswell where I currently reside with my three wonderful children. Two of which attend Kids R Kids, and the other is in elementary school. My passion to work with children started with volunteering at my church growing up. It then flourished after becoming a mother and experiencing childcare from both sides. My number one goal as the Assistant Director here is ensuring families feel warm and comfortable, the same way I want to feel with my own children.
