Your Partner

Diane B. Lyons, an education and hospitality industry veteran, founded ACCENT on Children’s Arrangements as a solution to a growing demand for dependable childcare services for parents participating in events away from home. In 1991, after many years of witnessing and experiencing this struggle, Diane set out with 1 employee and 1 promise: To provide childcare services at corporate, society, association, and other group meetings and events that exceed the most stringent standards.

Our President

“Back then, there just weren’t options available for us to ensure our children were cared for while we took care of our professional responsibilities in various cities,” Diane recalls. “I had to change that. All parents deserve peace of mind when it comes to arranging childcare, no matter where they are.”
