Dorothy Young

YCDC Center Director

I am Dorothy Young, the owner and administrative director of Young Child Development Center, Inc. I live in the valley area with my husband, Kevin. We have one son, Ryan. I began my career in early education and child care in 1990 as an assistant child care teacher. I soon realized that this was my passion and took college classes in early childhood. I taught preschool for five years in corporate and non-profit centers. I was hired as a director at a corporate child care center in 1995. I directed that center for seven years before deciding to venture into becoming an owner. This was one of the best decisions that I have ever made!

I earned my teaching certifications at Fox Valley Technical College and Lakeshore Technical College. I earned my Administrators Credential at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. I attended UW-Oshkosh. I am a member of Wisconsin Child Care Administrators Association, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the Wisconsin Early Childhood Association and the Valley Association for the Education of Young Children.
