DAYVILLE — Westview Child Care Center, LLC named Katy Holzer as director of its program.
The newly constructed Westview Child Care Center is slated to open in June; offering multiple levels of child care to the community.
Holzer joined the Westview team in June 2019 and has been instrumental in the development, design, and construction phase of Westview Child Care Center since the initial concepts.
“I am honored to be selected as director of Westview Child Care Center,” she said.
“It is my pleasure to work with such an extraordinary team of people to make this project a reality.
" I am so excited to work with families in our community to offer exceptional child care in a safe, secure, nurturing environment. We look forward to utilizing this space for children to learn and grow!”
Holzer comes to the position with an MBA from the Nichols College Graduate and Professional Studies program; completing her studies at the top of the class.
She earned her bachelor’s in psychology from UConn, and graduated magna cum laude and was inducted as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa national academic honor society while there.
During her undergraduate years, she focused on Industrial/Organizational Psychology and co-authored a research article that was published in the peer-reviewed “Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal.”
She has strong ties to northeastern Connecticut as a lifelong resident of Pomfret.
She is the daughter of Dr. Marjorie Holzer and Dr. Neri Holzer—who had over 50 years of combined service on Day Kimball Hospital’s medical staff as a pediatrician and an ear, nose, and throat specialist, respectively.
David T. Panteleakos, executive vice president and owner of Westview Child Care Center, LLC, said: “We are so thrilled to have Katy accept the role of director for our newest corporate endeavor. I know she will brilliantly lead this project through its next phases, and that we will benefit from her dedication and commitment to delivering the highest quality child care possible here at Westview.”
The new Westview Child Care Center is directly across the street from Westview Health Care Center and Country Living at Westview Commons.
Holzer said: “As a working mother of a preschool-age child, I have learned important lessons by being an astute observer of child care delivery and the factors of parenthood that affect my work day. The ability to have an on-site child care center is revolutionary, I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with the wonderful people of Westview. Our mission and values are perfectly aligned.”
Westview took this on-site child care center step to support community families and valued Westview employees.
Panteleakos said, “We are truly committed to being an employer of choice, and we work to continually enhance our wage and benefit program for our outstanding employees. This significant $2 million investment is made with full confidence that our team at Westview can do amazing things when we support each other. In doing so, we aim to recruit and retain our amazing employees by helping with the balance between family life and work.”
