Heather Fithen- Director

Hello, my name is Heather Fithen and I’m the Director here at All About Kids Fairfield. Me and Adam have 3 wonderful children between the two of us; Kayle, Izzy and Andrew. My favorite thing to do is to hang out with my family. I’m the oldest of 4 children, so I’ve known for a long time I’ve wanted to work with children in some way. I love seeing the world from a young child’s eyes.

I’ve been  at our Fairfield branch since 2015 however I’ve worked for our All About Kids Lakota Branch since 2006. Within that time I’ve had a chance to work in all of the classrooms at one point or another. I was in the 4 year old room for 7 years before moving up to be a part of front desk management. I’m so honored to be a part of the All About Kids family and getting to know all of the children and their parents. If you have any comments or concerns please feel free to contact me.

Whitney Sullivan- Assistant Director

My name is Whitney and I am the Assistant Director here at All About Kids . I grew up in Fairfield and graduated from Fairfield High School. I’ve been with All About Kids since April 2013. I have worked with all age groups in our building at some point. I started as a teacher in the Toddler room, moved to the Preschool room, and also worked in the Pre-K room. I eventually became a bus driver/floater. I’ve always helped out where ever needed and that led me to filling in at the front desk, where I became the Assistant Director.

My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. I come from a very big, very close family. I have 4 children Mia, Madelyn, Michael and Morgan.  We have 2 dogs, a Bullmastiff named Roman and Bug named Benny.  We also have a gecko named Cuddles. My family and I love to watch movies and have game nights. We also love music and going to concerts. All 4 of my kids attend All About Kids. Mia has been here since she was 2 and Madelyn, Michael and Morgan have attended since they were each 6 weeks old. My children love All About Kids and all of the teachers they have had along the way!!
