My Journey
Welcome to our brand-new childcare center, where we combine years of experience with a passion for nurturing young minds. My name is Danyell Allen, and I have been dedicated to the fields of childcare and nursing since 2002. With a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential earned in 2014, I have spent nearly two decades providing quality care and support to children and families.
In August 2019, I opened LKNQC as an in-home daycare, drawing on my extensive experience in childcare and nursing. My journey into specialized care began when my own child was diagnosed with autism, sparking a deep commitment to understanding and supporting children with diverse needs. Now, I am excited to expand this vision with the opening of our new childcare center. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for all children, including those who may require specialized care. At our center, we blend the personalized attention of our in-home care with the resources and opportunities of a larger facility, ensuring every child receives the best possible start.

Our Philosophy
At Crowned Crayons Academy, we believe that building a strong partnership between parents, teachers, and children is crucial to a child’s education. We work closely with parents to support each child's unique development. Understanding that every child has their own personality and grows at their own pace, we emphasize hands-on activities such as play, singing, and creative projects to enhance learning. Since no two children develop in the same way, we are dedicated to nurturing each child as an individual.
Our program provides healthy, nutritious meals and a stimulating educational curriculum. We consider our children to be the most important part of our lives and are committed to offering them the tender loving care they need while they are away from home. At Crowned Crayons Academy, we strive to create a happy, safe, and secure environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun.
