Naomi Fox started The Fox’s Den ChildCare in 2017 after adopting her youngest two sons and stepping away from foster care. Her love for nurturing and teaching kids led her to create a unique childcare experience that feels like home. As a mom of four active children herself, Naomi knows the value of keeping kids engaged, happy, and supported as they grow. Driven by a passion to make quality, affordable childcare accessible in Wadsworth, Naomi designed the Den to offer the best of both worlds—home-like coziness and the structure of a state-licensed daycare. She combines safety and fun through secure spaces, dance parties, hands-on activities that build confidence and inspire learning, and so much more!
My name is Amanda Yoder. I began my journey at The Den as an assistant director for two locations, later became the director at Creston, and am now the director at Wadsworth. I’ve been with The Den for 3 ½ years and have 20 years of experience in the childcare field. I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and am passionate about working with children of all ages. I’m also a proud mom of three wonderful daughters, ages 15, 13, and 10. Together, we enjoy shopping and attending sporting events.
My name is Jessica Klepper, and I am the director at The Fox’s Den in Creston. Previously, I served as a director at another center and later joined Creston’s team as a Pre-K teacher when it opened. Now, I’m thrilled to be back in a director role! I’ve been in childcare for six years, with over three of those years at The Den. Helping children grow and develop has always been a true joy. I’m married with two kids—an 11-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. We love spending weekends outdoors, cheering on our oldest at the ball field as she plays softball.
My name is Faith Kumse, and I am the assistant director across all three locations and the PreK teacher at Wadsworth. You’ll find me at Wadsworth in the mornings, and in the afternoons, I might be at any of the two centers. I’ve been in the childcare field since 2018, joining The Fox’s Den in early 2021, and I’m currently working toward obtaining my CDA. Teaching is my true passion, and helping children thrive in a safe, nurturing learning environment is my top priority. I’m excited to grow in this role and for all the adventures ahead!
