Co-Founder & Executive Director | Billings, MT

Sheryl co-founded MFCN after recognizing that Montana's family child care providers lacked representation. As Executive Director, she leads MFCN's operations and advocacy efforts, bringing firsthand expertise as the owner of Munchkin Land, a STAR 5, NAFCC-accredited facility in Billings, a member of the NAFCC Accreditation Council, and the 2024 NAFCC Accredited Educator of the Year.
