About The Owners
Melissa and Rodney Wren are the proud owners of The Wren’s Nest, bringing a shared passion for children, families, and creating a nurturing, welcoming environment. Together, they have built a place where children feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn and grow.
As the center’s director, Melissa brings extensive experience in early childhood education and a lifelong dedication to helping children thrive. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development and Family Studies from Berea College, and she spent 20 years managing the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) for Boyle and Mercer counties.
Melissa and Rodney, a retired Lieutenant with the Kentucky State Police, raised their two children in a home centered on faith, family, and community. Today, they are proud grandparents to eight wonderful grandchildren who continue to inspire Melissa’s heart for early childhood education.
Since 2018, Melissa and Rodney have been nurturing The Wren’s Nest, creating a warm, engaging place where children can learn, play, and grow.
Our Daycare. Our Family. Our Community
For so many family’s daycare is the only option they have, and we want to give them more than just a place for their children to go while they are at work. With children and grandchildren of our own we understand the desire of parents to have a safe, nurturing environment that also offers opportunities for each child to grow and learn according to their own developmental pace and gifting. It has been our experience that a loved child who feels safe to explore her world and who is surrounded by age appropriate materials will learn and develop at a much stronger pace.
Our mission is to provide a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where each child is loved and encouraged to grow into all that God created them to be.
