It takes a unique person to get up every morning at 6:30 and be fully prepared to take on all of the responsibilities that comes with taking care of 85 children. It takes an even more unique individual to do this consistently for almost two decades. 

 

Constance Reynolds of Clifton Park is the owner and director of Lil' Lambs Christian School, a place of quality education and childcare. Reynolds built the organization from the ground up with the dream to deliver a source of safe and efficient childhood development for children in her community. 

 

Establishing Lil' Lambs in June 1998 from her home, Reynolds reached a level of success that placed her in her own full-sale daycare center 10 years later. The last year or running Lil' Lambs at home was in 2007. By then Reynolds had an enrollment number of 17 children. 

 

When Reynolds started the program it began to progress quickly. However, it was not at all what she expected to do with her life.

 

"I never saw myself working with children. At the time I was struggling with two children who couldn't attend the same school and I needed to find a way to keep them together," said Reynolds.

 

It is because of Reynolds' Christian faith that she says God gave her the sign to open Lil' Lambs. Otherwise, she wouldn't have. 

 

"One day I was driving through Saratoga and God told me to open a daycare service. I told him he must have me confused with someone else," said Reynolds.
