Founder
Rhian has spent her career promoting and advocating for the systems and structures that lead to high quality early childhood education for all children. She believes that professional early childhood educators are the backbone to the best child care environments. Rhian’s passion to launch Brynmor started while she was CEO at the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), as she witnessed first hand the lack of opportunities for families, children and early childhood educators across the United States.
Rhian’s unwavering dedication to elevating the need for investments in early childhood education became evident early in her career. She was the CEO at First Things First, Arizona’s public-private partnership, where she played a pivotal role creating a system of early childhood education funded by $150 million in public support. Rhian has testified before the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions and she is a relied upon source on the economics, policy and implementation of high-quality early education for broadcast and print media including Good Morning America, The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, U.S. News and National Public Radio.
Rhian and the team at Brynmor are excited to use their experience, passion and expertise to turn an historic building into a loving space where children thrive and learn and early childhood educators are treated as professionals.
Rhian is married to Paul Allvin, they live in Falls Church, VA with their three teenagers and two dogs.
