CKLC was founded in 2014 with one location with a max capacity of 30 kids to be enrolled. Within the first year of operation, CKLC had reached their capacity and was looking to expand to a second location, which then launched in 2016. Henderson dedicated her time to hiring quality staff and providing them with training and development opportunities to ensure the youth enrolled in CKLC could receive the best education there is to offer. Families often provide feedback of their child’s growth since enrolling at CKLC, which has been the primary source of marketing and expansion. In 2018, CKLC launched its third location and increased its enrollment to over 200 children.
