Hello, my name is Wade Gelhar. I have worked behind the scenes at Little Beginnings since 1999. I am a son, a brother, a husband, a father, and now a grandfather. My former work experience has been in the transportation industry, dispatching, planning, and training drivers for UPS and over-the-road truck drivers. I have also worked and owned my own business in the construction industry, painting residential and commercial projects. I’ve always enjoyed my career choice, but my heart has always wanted to be here at Little Beginnings with my wife and daughter. In May of 2017, I was able to fulfill that dream!
Along with keeping the building and the grounds operational and fulfilling the “honey-do” list from all of the staff, I also maintain the software that runs all of our administrative needs here at the center. Among all of these duties, I love seeing all the kids smiling faces each day. Every once in a while, you may even find me filling in in a classroom here and there! I’m happy to be a part of this team!
