Jason Skidmore is a lifelong resident of Maryland. He began working in his family’s Assisted Living Home business in his early teens by changing linens, cleaning rooms, and folding resident laundry. As a young adult, Jason recognized the need for a local transportation company that could provide safe, dependable interfacility transportation for patients requiring transfer for long-term care or, in some cases, higher acuity care at another hospital with special services. He started his own company to provide a vital service that was absent in the community.
Jason has spent his entire career thus far as a public servant working to provide service outcomes that are in the best interest of the patient, family and client facility, with particular focus on timeliness, safety, reliability, and high-quality patient care. His love for children and his understanding of the importance of a good educational foundation is the impetus for now branching into early childhood education. He believes every child should have the opportunity to thrive in a safe, nurturing, educational environment.
Mr. Skidmore and his wife founded Hart to Heart Ambulance Service in 1996. The company has since grown from a single ambulance and three employees to over 130 vehicles and 350 team members. They now serve communities throughout Maryland and Delaware, servicing over 150,000 ambulance, wheelchair and paratransit calls annually. In addition, Mr. Skidmore has founded a management company and Statewide Automotive, a full-service automotive repair business focused on general & commercial auto repairs with locations in Harford County and Baltimore City.
Mr. Skidmore enjoys participating in local charitable organizations and supporting other organizations in the community philanthropically. He has served on the Board of Directors for multiple local and national institutions including EMS Redline, Catalyst Insurance, Upper Chesapeake Health Foundation, Senator Bob Hooper House Hospice Regatta, Union Hospital Foundation, and Harford Day School.
Hello, I’m Tameka Ross, the School Director at Celebree of Canton. With over two decades of experience in Early Childhood Education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to nurturing young minds. My journey in this field began shortly after high school when I obtained my 90-hour certification, and since then, I’ve continuously pursued additional certifications to enhance my skills and expertise. I hold qualifications that allow me to effectively work with children of all ages, reflecting my commitment to ongoing professional development.
As a mother of two boys, aged 19 and 4, I understand the importance of staying engaged and attentive, both personally and professionally. They undoubtedly keep me on my toes and inspire me to continuously strive for excellence.
Teaching children, supporting my team, and exploring my culinary talents are among my greatest passions. I firmly believe that when my team is motivated and content, it positively impacts the children under our care. Witnessing the smiles on the children’s faces as they grow and learn fills my heart with immense joy and fulfillment.
My ultimate goal is to complete my education and leave a lasting impact on every child I encounter. I am dedicated to fostering an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. With each passing day, I am driven by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families within our community.
With nearly five years of experience in early childhood education with Celebree, I’ve had the joy of growing alongside the children in my care—celebrating their milestones, nurturing their unique personalities, and playing a part in their learning and development. From the very beginning, it was the daily connections and meaningful moments in the classroom that made this work so fulfilling for me.
As I gained confidence in my role, I stepped into a new opportunity as a Culture Mentor. In this position, I discovered a passion for team building and professional support. I focused on fostering a positive, open, and encouraging environment where educators felt seen, valued, and motivated—because I believe a strong internal culture is essential for children and families to truly thrive.
I later transitioned into Operations Support, which challenged me in new and rewarding ways. I developed a deep appreciation for the behind-the-scenes responsibilities that keep a school running smoothly, from compliance and structure to leadership and organization. That experience strengthened my understanding of how thoughtful operations directly impact the success of both teachers and students.
Today, I proudly serve as Assistant Director, bringing together my classroom knowledge, leadership experience, and operational insight to support our entire school community. I’m deeply committed to helping create a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where children grow and where educators are inspired to give their very best. I believe when staff feel supported and confident, that care naturally shines through in the love and learning they share with every child.
This journey has been one of purpose, passion, and growth and I’m honored to continue growing as a leader while making a lasting difference in the lives of children, families, and fellow educators.
