Our Founders

Johnnie and Mike Frost

Owner / Executive Director

Mike and Johnnie Frost know all too well the struggle to find quality childcare. As the parents to two children, Carter and Henleigh, they struggled to find care that provided an educational component and a safe, nurturing environment. After a less than desirable experience when their daughter was born, Johnnie set out with a mission to ensure that no family felt the stress of settling for sub-par childcare in order to work. In 2018, KinderKids Learning Center acquired Loving Care Children's Center in Daphne, Alabama. Assuming ownership of a well-established program of over 20 years, KinderKids Learning Center was quickly filled with a waiting list, due in part to focusing on safe, reliable childcare with a educational component. In addition to overseeing the operation of the company, Johnnie is a outspoken advocate for the field of early childhood education. It is her mission to have ECE professionals regarded as the educators they are instead of seen merely as caregivers or babysitters. She is active in the community and currently serves as an advisor for the Baldwin County Teacher Cadet Program. She is the VP of the Alabama Child Care Owners Association, an organization whose mission is to connect providers across the state in an effort to improve quality and collaboration among providers. The Frost family is also active in their church and their faith is important to their company's mission and success, as they see early childhood education as their mission field, positively impacting the lives their employees and the families they serve. Johnnie is also the owner of Brightstart ECE Consulting LLC, a firm designed to help other providers grow in business knowledge, attain licensing, and to provide support to businesses and other organizations who are working towards identifying child care solutions.
