Hello! We are Ashley and Jeremy Fangmann, proud parents of three wonderful children: Hallie (5), Harrison (3), and Annabel (1). Ashley is a certified public accountant with extensive management experience, while Jeremy has a background in various banking roles and currently serves as a Brand Manager at etrailer.

Ashley dedicated over five years to serving on the Board of the Boys and Girls Clubs, holding positions ranging from Committee Chair to Vice President. Her professional journey, alongside her role as a devoted mother, ignited her interest in child psychology and development. Through her involvement with the Boys & Girls Clubs, Ashley gained invaluable insights into the pivotal role of early childhood education.

During a transitional period for our family, Jeremy had the opportunity to be a stay-at-home dad to our three young children, each at a crucial stage of early childhood development. It was during this time that he discovered his passion for early childhood education, recognizing the profound impact of these formative years on a child's future.

Faced with the challenge of finding high-quality childcare, we saw an opportunity to make a difference both for our family and the community. Our quest led us to Children’s Lighthouse Early Learning Schools. Upon discovering Children’s Lighthouse and delving into its core values and curriculum, we knew it was the perfect supportive learning environment for our children.

Excitingly, we are embarking on the journey to open Missouri's first Children's Lighthouse Early Learning School! During the first five years of a child's life, their brain undergoes rapid development, significantly shaping their future learning capabilities. By establishing this school, our family aims to positively impact thousands of children for years to come. We are thrilled to be part of this journey!
