My name is Kristie Bradshaw and I am the Director Of Children's Courtyard in Fontana. I have been working with children for over 26 years and couldn't think of any thing else I'd rather do. I am also a mother of four children, my youngest is just about to turn 21. I think of all the families, kids, and staff as family and I enjoy being able to make connections and memories with them all. Watching children grow and seeing their achievements is very rewarding.
