Founder & Center Director
With more than 30 years of experience teaching children, Antoinette McClendon brings a genuine passion for child care to Abundance of Joy Child Development Center
Licensed through the California Department of Social Services since 2019 and trained in First Aid, CPR, and early childhood education, she creates age-appropriate activities that keep children supported and engaged.
I believe children learn best when they feel safe, cared for, encouraged, and excited to explore each day.
