Every story has a beginning—and ours starts with Tania!

More than 30 years ago, Tania and her mother, Carolyn, opened Promise Patch Kids with a dream of creating a loving place for children and families. What began as a small endeavor inspired by her own young family grew into a center that has served generations of children.

Tania's caring nature, strong values, and dedication to children remain woven into the fabric of Promise Patch Kids. Her influence can be seen not only in the center itself, but in the relationships built with families over the years.

Thank you for helping make it all possible. 💛 Tania Riedel

What she loves most about working with children is watching them learn and reach new milestones—from saying their first words and feeding themselves to taking their first steps and dancing with excitement.

One of her favorite things to do with her class is water days and creating handprint and footprint crafts that families can treasure for years to come.

A fun fact about Angelia is that she likes to be prepared for just about any situation. She is Life Star and CPR certified, and her favorite children's book is Goodnight Moon.

Family-style dining is a key part of our daily routine at Promise Patch Kids!

Our children are encouraged to serve themselves and choose what foods they want to try, helping build independence and confidence around food. Because everyone shares serving utensils, they also naturally learn important hygiene habits—like keeping hands clean and avoiding touching their face.

Mealtimes are also social learning moments. Children practice manners, patience, and taking turns while eating together.

Simple actions like using tongs or peeling bananas support fine motor development, which connects directly to early writing skills.

It’s a simple routine with powerful learning behind it. ☀️
