Home Away From Home: Kradle To Krayon Childcare Is Growing With Kiddos Around The Lake

For working parents around the Lake of the Ozarks, quality childcare that also helps children develop their love of learning can be difficult to find. In 2006, Kari and Ralph Johnson opened their first childcare facility with the high standard of creating an environment where their own children could thrive.

Fast forward 17 years and Kradle to Krayon Daycare is going strong with three locations and expanding facilities. With freshly remodeled classrooms and nurseries in Osage Beach, Camdenton, and Lake Ozark, Kradle to Krayon is ready to welcome new little ones from the surrounding communities.
