Taryn Krahmer - President
Hi, my name is Taryn! I am the President of Fields of Fun Child Care. A little bit about me is that I have three sons who take up most of my husband's and my time! We love to be outside whenever we can. I really enjoy being active, so I do a lot of walking/jogging, kayaking, hiking, and of course chasing the boys around. I attended Mount Mercy University, where I graduated with a Double Major in Biology and Outdoor Conservation. I have been in business management for around 7 years, and before that was in an administrative role. During that time I worked in management, marketing, sales, customer relations, estimating, and more. When the opportunity presented itself to be able to help the community and families with child care, I was eager to take it!

Amber Walton - Kitchen Manager
I am creative, love to stay active, and I bring these passions into my kitchen and cook with love for each and every single student. I work under the direct supervision of the facility Director and assume responsibility for feeding One’s-School age children. I am responsible for delivery preparation and delivery of food to classrooms and cleanup; maintenance of common areas and kitchen on a daily basis as required. I believe that the early years are an important time to nurture a child’s interest in nutritious and different foods and overall their wellbeing. I strive to
provide an inviting, fun, and creative kitchen environment on a daily basis. NO child will ever be left hungry in my kitchen, because I make sure each child’s portions are correct and everyone gets their daily dose of fruits, grain, vegetables, protein, and dairy. Working with children ensures each day will be a unique adventure because kids are exciting and unpredictable And that is why I absolutely love what I do!
