"Taking care of people is what we love to do," says Randy Bufford, local entrepreneur and founder of Trilogy Health Services, LLC. Along with his wife, Susan Bufford, he is thrilled to announce the latest venture from 0924 Investments, LLC – The Bufford Family Office. Building upon a history of growing successful businesses that prioritize serving employees, customers, and the community, 0924 Investments aims to elevate the standard in the early childhood education sector.
After a comprehensive market evaluation, 0924 Investments is proud to announce a partnership with LeafSpring Schools, which has a 35-year track record of innovation and quality in the early education sector. This partnership is founded on shared values and a common mission. Vance Spilman, CEO of LeafSpring Schools, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "The Bufford family has a proven track record of serving their communities and providing exceptional care. We are thrilled to partner with them and to have them introduce LeafSpring Schools to the Kentucky market and beyond."
LeafSpring Schools provides exceptional early childhood education and school-age recreational programming to encompass all aspects of a child's growth and development through its proprietary PLAYWORKS Curriculum. Informed by extensive early education research and with the consensus of their curriculum advisory board, LeafSpring Schools' curriculum encourages children to follow their innate curiosity to learn about themselves, others, and the world around them through play and exploration. Through rich, developmentally appropriate learning experiences tailored to each child, children at LeafSpring Schools are developing skills, such as critical thinking and problem-solving, that are essential as children prepare for kindergarten and beyond. LeafSpring Schools' leadership program, INSPIRED, also plays a pivotal role in children becoming lifelong leaders. By upholding high standards in values and decision-making, it instills a commitment to making meaningful, positive contributions in an ever-changing world.
LeafSpring Schools also offers unique services with their Get Well Place, permitting continued care for children who are mildly ill with common childhood illnesses like colds or stomach bugs. Parents can go to work knowing their sick child will be cared for in a familiar and nurturing environment. The Get Well Place is staffed with licensed nursing professionals. It is located within the main building of a LeafSpring Schools facility in a contained environment to prevent the spread of illness.
Randy Bufford adds, "With 0924 Investments, we are embarking on a new journey to create meaningful opportunities that enrich lives and communities. Opening LeafSpring Schools in the Louisville market reflects our commitment to supporting the well-being and development of future generations. By investing in quality childcare services, we not only foster an early learning environment, setting up children for success in life but also empower families and contribute to the vitality of our communities."
LeafSpring Schools will offer full-day preschool serving infants through kindergarten-age children, with the first ground-up location on a 5.1-acre site on O'Bannon Station Way in East Point; with excess acreage being acquired to create a campus of pediatric medical offices and/or related child healthcare services. Further sites in Prospect and the Hurstbourne area are being pursued for additional school locations.
