Meet Our Director

Hi! My name is Lori Jonas, and I am the Center Director at ABC Academy – Lansing Ave. I have been with ABC Academy since 2002, beginning my career as a Teacher Assistant in the infant and toddler program. My passion for working with children and families, along with my strong teaching and leadership skills, led me to become a Lead Preschool Teacher, Assistant Director, and eventually Center Director in 2011. Throughout my career, I have continued to grow professionally by taking advantage of training and leadership opportunities.

What Parents Are Saying

Proudly Serving Jackson & Jackson County Families — ABC Academy is conveniently located in Jackson, Michigan — just minutes from Jackson County, Vandercook Lake, Michigan Center, Spring Arbor and Parma.

"Our Two children have been going to ABC Academy since they were each 6 weeks old, my oldest is 7 and my youngest is 16 months. We love ABC Academy because the teachers care for my children as if they were their own. The teachers see them in the hallway and stop and talk to them. They ask questions about my sons’ day when he gets off the bus. One of the best parts of my day is getting pictures of my children throughout the day on Tadpoles. It allows for me to see how they are doing in their classrooms when I am unable to actually see them."

"My daughter has been going here since she was 3.5 months old, she is now in the preschool classroom. The dedication and care that goes into each child is genuine and remarkable. The teachers and directors truly care about the growth of children.!
