Ramona Jones

Chief Educational Officer

I’m a wife and mom of four children with three grandchildren. An experienced educator serving 25+ years in The Philadelphia School District. I have served as a classroom teacher, School Based Teacher Leader, Regional Director of Academics, District Administrator and Professional Development Leader as well as an adjuct Collegiate Professor , which gave me the gamut of experience in the field of education. Most recently, I served as Chief Educational Officer of Kingdom Academy in Bensalem, Pennsylvania . In 2016, while pursuing my doctorate, I took a leap of faith and founded the Discover Learn & Grow Early Learning Center with my son.
Nurturing young minds makes me excited to get out of bed every day. I believe in the power of learning: In the first five years of life, education is the key to shaping well-rounded confident leaders. Unfortunately, early education is out of reach for many families. Our mission is to bring affordable quality early education and childcare to families in Bristol, and empower young people to become productive citizens.

Marcelous Jones

Director (and kid-at-heart)

Growing up, my mom instilled in me her love for education. I earned a bachelor of science in both psychology and business from Duquesne University. I used my talents to head programming, operations, and finance at Kingdom Academy for Creative and Performing Arts. Then in 2016, my mom and I founded Discover Learn & Grow to make an impact on this community. Day-to-day, I supervise our staff, oversee finances, and work with parents and guardians to set goals for the children. My favorite part of my job is interacting with students: teaching the after-school program and tutoring high school students.

Meriame Doumbia

Lead instructor

I graduated from Bensalem High School in 2014. I’ve wanted to work with children ever since I was young; I have a large family with lots of younger nieces and nephews. I always wanted to work in a structured environment where I can help instruct kids, while also learning to become a teacher.
