Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Shemika Bufford.
Opening a childcare program has been my dream for many years. I'm happily married and the proud mother of two wonderful children — they've shaped my understanding of why quality care, family support, and meaningful experiences matter so deeply.
For over 19 years I've dedicated my career to early childhood education — supporting children and walking alongside families through every season. At FUN-telligent Play Zone we serve children ages 18 Months–12 Years in a safe, nurturing, engaging space where they learn, play, and grow while families feel supported, valued, and connected.
Thank you for letting us be part of your family's journey. It's an honor — and I can't wait to welcome you.
