02 Jun 2024 Men of the Moment 2024: Randy Ohlde

For more than three decades, Randy Ohlde has brightened young lives in the 501.

As the Executive Director for Milestones Services, Inc. in Conway, Ohlde and his staff provide early intervention day treatment, childcare, nursing and therapy services for children from birth to 5 years old, serving more than 100 families annually. For him, seeing children grow and reach their full potential means everything.

“When an adult comes to me and tells me that I had a positive impact in their life as a child, that is very rewarding to me,” Ohlde said. “That reminds me that what I do can have a positive impact on a child and their family and potentially give them a brighter future.”

In addition to Milestones Services, he gives back to Central Arkansas as a member of Kiwanis of Conway Arkansas.

“Kiwanis is a great fit for me because they are all about helping children all over the world,” Ohlde said. “It has been very rewarding to be able to work with other professionals to give back in a different capacity than I am used to.”

In a life full of accomplishments, he is most proud of his family.

“I have been married to a great woman and an amazing mom, Stacy, for 28 years,” Ohlde said. “We have two wonderful children, Alec and Katelyn. You always wonder how you are doing as a parent while raising your kids. We are most proud of their faith and moral compass.”

His advice for other parents is to make the most of time spent with children. “In today’s world, screen time is taking over,” Ohlde said. 

“Talking with your children, playing hands-on games or reading with them is so critical to their development. Not only does this help develop their brain, but it develops a loving relationship within the family. You have to be intentional with quality time. You only have one chance to raise your child. Every moment counts!”
