Tara Kennedy

Owner / Director

Tara’s passion for early childhood education is matched only by her experience. As a mother of five, she brings firsthand insight into child development and a deep understanding of what families need most—trust, consistency, and care that feels like home. Before becoming the owner of Cedar Gables, Tara managed a nonprofit children’s program serving 35–60 children ages 18 months to 12 years, where she developed a reputation for creating structured, nurturing environments that helped children thrive. Today, she leads Cedar Gables with warmth, organization, and a clear vision: to provide a safe, inspiring place where every child is known, supported, and celebrated.
