Hello! I am Erica Langhals and I am the Director at Little Bulldogs Learning Center!

My husband and I live in Columbus Grove with our daughter. Friends and family mean everything to us and I can’t wait to make more connections through the daycare and preschool!

I knew I wanted to work with kids since I was a little girl. I made that dream happen by getting my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and working through multiple daycare/preschools throughout college and the last couple years. I still have that dream but now I want to take the step further and help children and families get the care and resources they need to thrive individually and together!

Hope to meet you all, very soon! 😊

Hi! I am Caitlyn Auchmuty and I will be the Co-Director and 3 Year Old Preschool Teacher at Little Bulldogs Learning Center. My husband and I now live in Findlay, but he is originally from Columbus Grove and I am from Waterville!

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from BGSU. Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher and I have now been in the early childhood education field for 8 years.

I look forward to meeting everyone!
