Meet our Crew



Jenifer Hood - Owner / Director

Hi, my name is Jenifer Hood, and I am very excited to have opened Tiny Humans Learning Academy in the town of Wilson.

I have been in child care & Preschool in Oklahoma for the past 13 years, first owning a small home childcare in 2011 in Marlow, OK and growing to a large home child in 2013 in Duncan, OK.  In 2019 we moved to Ardmore as a Large Home childcare and in 2023 I was given the opportunity to fulfill the need for a childcare center right here in Wilson.

This center has been a long time dream for me and I enjoy all the children who come through my doors.  I studied at University of Phoenix and I graduated with and Associates in Healthcare Administration and further went on to Elementary Education with and Emphasis of Preschool-2nd grade.  I also studied at Western Oklahoma State College with an emphasis of Early Childhood Education.

In my leisure time I work with the animals on my property, crochet, and love traveling.

I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you and can’t wait to see what God has in store for this center.
