Meet Our Director

Hi, I’m Mariann, the Center Director at ABC Academy – Jackson College Center! I dedicated my career to early childhood education, beginning my journey in 1986. I joined ABC Academy in 1992 as a Lead Teacher and Toddler Curriculum Coordinator before moving into leadership roles. In 1997, I became the Center Director at our Jackson College location, a center that has always held a special place in my heart. Throughout my career, I have also served as a GSRP Director and Executive Director. I am so excited to return to Jackson College and continue making a positive impact on the lives of children, families, and staff. My greatest joy is watching children learn, grow, and light up with excitement as they discover something new!

What Parents Are Saying

Proudly Serving Jackson & Jackson County Families — ABC Academy is conveniently located in Jackson, Michigan — just minutes from Jackson County, Vandercook Lake, Michigan Center, Spring Arbor and Parma.

"ABC Academy has been an amazing place for my daughter! It’s safe, warm, and professional, with incredibly kind staff. She started attending ABC at just 5 months old, five days a week, and they’ve played a huge role in her growth and learning during her first year. The staff communicates exceptionally well with parents through an app, allowing me to see how she’s doing throughout the day. I love receiving pictures of her working on crafts and participating in other activities. I truly have peace of mind when I send her to ABC!"

"Love ABC Jc location ! My kids have been going there for years. I never have to worry about the people watching my kids. My two younger kids started at only 2 months & 5 months old! They help with behavioral issues and give me great ideas to use at home. My kids love the staff & I think of them as a second family!"
