Our Story
Palms is family-owned and operated. Our co-founders, and brother-sister duo team, Dr. Emma Duffy and Dr. Derek Burkholder share not only years of experience in Early Childhood Education, and doctorates in Education, but also a passion for holistic learning and belief in the potential of each child.
​
Palms came from the passion of its founders and desire to provide the best Early Learning experience for children, inspired by their own children, cousins Bennett and Callahan, and new addition Addison.
