A Message From the Owners:

We founded Cranfield Academy after experiencing the concerns that all parents have when entrusting their children to outside caregivers. Our experience convinced us that parents needed better options in child care.  This desire formed into Cranfield Academy - a place which would not only meet the physical needs of children but would also nurture their emotional and cognitive development. This is the academy in which we entrust our young son Zachary and daughters Delaney and Anikka. 

Laura earned a B.A. in English Literature from Wheaton College and a Masters of Education from the University of Southern California. She has more than 12 years experience in education. Todd earned a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Redlands and has over 10 years management experience. 

We enjoy splashing around Lake Wylie with our extended family, playing golf (albeit mostly miniature golf these days!) and exploring the back roads of the Carolinas.  We promise to be active on-site owners who are very interested in operating the premiere child care and preschool in Charlotte. We count it a privilege to share in your lives and in the lives of your children. 

Todd & Laura Pace, son Zachary and daughters Delaney and Anikka
