Meet Our Director
Jessica Huvard
Jessica leads the Cary team and has been a familiar face to families from their very first tour. Families and staff describe her as approachable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth.
Hi, I’m Jessica Huvard, the Director at The Growing Years of Cary! I have 26 years of experience in early childhood education. My passion is watching the children in my school blossom and flourish throughout the many stages of their development. As a member of the Knightdale Rotary club, I understand the importance of helping our communities thrive and advocating for many different Early Childhood Education facilities is one of my top priorities.
Every family we serve will feel welcomed as a part of a family where safety, transparency, and love trump all. I am the proud mother of three adult children, and three beautiful grandchildren who are my entire world. You will likely find me spending time with my family cooking out, swimming, at the beach, or relaxing and observing nature in the mountains.
