Kimberly Swain-Wishinski / Owner & Operator
I am the Owner & Operator of Kids in the Grove Topham & West Langley! I have been a resident of Walnut Grove for nearly 30 years; attending both West Langley Elementary & Walnut Grove Secondary Schools. I'm a Wife, Mother and Auntie! I have been an active participant in the community; working with children since my early adolescence. Seeing a need for a daycare that was convenient to working families, I opened JK Kids Club in 2002 operating out of local schools. Since then, our name has changed, but our belief has not; "to provide a trusting, open and fair atmosphere so the students can have the ability to express themselves in a comfortable and confident manner".
