When talking to any Watkinsville native, most people remember Don and Betty Cowan. Kiddieland Child Care is located in Watkinsville, Georgia, and always has been, since its humble beginnings in 1970.  

Started by Ms. Betty Cowan, the day care was a way to share all the love she had for children. Having three children herself, she started and ran the center until her daughter, Donna took over. Now Donna is Ms. Donna Nettis and she holds the director duties of the center along with her long time best friend Ms. Darlene Rhines.

From our beginnings the goal of the care offered is to provide a rich environment for learning and growing, while also being having personal connections with all of our children and parents.
