I have been working for Honey Grove since 2014. During my time here at Honey Grove, I have worked at Center Grove, Maple Grove, Pleasant Grove, and Sugar Grove. I am making a full circle and am now the Site Supervisor here at Center Grove. I am so excited for the upcoming school year. I have had many amazing mentors to prepare me for this new journey. During my free time, I love hanging out with my friends and family. One of my biggest hobbies is I love collecting vinyl records. I love digging around antique stores and flea markets looking for a great album. I love Disney! I am also very involved with my church. You can either find me playing the keyboard, singing or teaching preschool. I graduated from Whiteland Community High School in 2014. GO, WARRIORS! I have many goals for this upcoming school year. I want to model and teach our students how to be kind and a good friend to others.
I want to create a fun and safe environment for our students. I want them to look back on their time at Honey Grove and remember how much fun they had! I am so excited to get to know all of you and your kiddos.

My name is Amanda Ford. I have been working with children for the past fifteen years. I enjoy seeing the children I worked with at Honey Grove from 2008 to 2013, engaged in activities at the before and after program. It is a privilege to watch your children grow.
I recently earned my degree in Early Childhood Education and plan to continue my education.The past two years I have had the honor of working at the Developmental Preschool at Sugar Grove. This experience has provided me with several learning opportunities. I have attended multiple training programs over the years. I have made it my life goal to learn ways to support every child in my care. During my time at the Developmental Preschool, I also worked with Honey Grove at the before and after program at Sugar Grove.
When I am not spending time with students, I am spending time with my husband and our daughter. She is a fourth grader at Sugar Grove. She is actively involved in almost every after school activity. She keeps me on my toes. Together we enjoy playing outside, hiking, riding bikes, and walking our two dogs.
I am looking forward to building positive relationships with you and your children. I believe positive relationships and meaningful interactions are the foundation to any successful program. My goal is to help maintain the positive environment the children have come to love.

Hello! My name is Miss Gretchen and I joined the Honey Grove team in February of 2018. I started my Honey Grove journey at Maple Grove as the Assistant Site Supervisor and then transitioned to North Grove as the Site Supervisor. I have absolutely loved my time here at Honey Grove, and I hope to be here for years to come! Before I joined Honey Grove, I had a background with working with all different ages of kids in camps and before/ after school programs for over ten years. Being able to work with kids for over ten years has given me many learning opportunities from various childhood development trainings, first aid, CPR, and to be able to attend different conferences around the state and the country. I truly enjoy working and interacting with children, all the while making a difference in their lives. I am originally from the south side of Indianapolis and graduated from Roncalli High School many years ago, and I currently live on the south side too. After graduation, I studied secondary education and mathematics at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College for a couple of years before moving back to Indianapolis to study elementary education at Ivy Tech. I am a huge Disney enthusiast, an avid reader, extremely organized, crafty, and love to do puzzles whenever I can find free time. I am also a big animal lover as I have two dogs and three cats that I love entirely. My goal for the program at North Grove is that kids can come to our environment where they can learn, feel safe, and have fun at the same time!
