THE
JEFF & NINA KILLINS STORY

     Our story is not an uncommon one as we are just like you.  We want the very best for our children and have dedicated our life's work to meeting their developmental needs.  As a result we believe we have learned a thing or two along the way. 
     We drew from our experiences, those times where certain people made a difference in our lives that forever changed us.  We wanted to give to others that same gift that was so graciously given to us.  If you think about it we all can name the teacher or mentor that took an interest in us, believed in us, stood by us and esteemed us which changed our lives for the better.  
     Our goal is to create an environment of enricment, encouragement and positive memories for the children who cross our path.  By providing a strong constructive foundation for our youth we believe we can help stop some of the negative news that floods our media.  We want to be part of Georgia not being last on the totem pole in education.  Children that believe in themselves is everything and it only takes one person to believe in you for you to succeed.
     I (Nina) have been an educator for more than 23 years with a BA in English, CFO for Killer Killins Pest Control since 1984 and now CEO of A Step Ahead Learning Center.  My life's work has also been involved in mentoring programs for children for more than 20 years.  It is my passion and my purpose for being on this earth, that fuels this project called A Step Ahead Learning Center.
     I (Jeff) have been successful business owners since 1984.  I have a BA in Religion and Philosophy/Counseling, with a minor in Entomology.  I've also been involved with people and children through various organizations since 1978, including and assistant boy scout troop master and an elder/coordinator for our church's mentoring program.  Currently, I serve as CFO of A Step Ahead Learning Center.  But if the truth be told and you were to look into my heart of hearts, I am simply a care-giver.  All that I do, all that I am is motivated by my love for people.  
     We are united in the fact that our life's work and our happiness is to see A Step Ahead grow and flourish.  So come join us as we welcome your involvement in creating a better world for all children.
