Hi! My name is Toprice Johnson. I have been in the childcare field for 20 years. I've been a teacher at Kids 'R' Kids since 2019. I am a mother of 3 children. I get a lot of joy from helping to mold young children as they are our future. When I am not at work, I love spending time with my family and friends. I also have my CDA.

Brian De Silva
Assistant Director
Hello, my name is Brian and I have called Virginia my home for the past 30 years. As a seasoned director with 15 years of experience in a Montessori center, I am excited to be a part of the outstanding team at KRK. My passion for early childhood education was ignited by my mother, a teacher who's own positive impact on children was enlightening and crucial for my own personal development.
As a father to a young boy, I understand the importance of family and how it shapes a child's development. That is why I am committed to creating a supportive and loving family environment at KRK where children can thrive and reach their full potential. In my spare time, I enjoy indulging in my love for books, art, theater, cinema, history, music, philanthropic work, and photography. These hobbies allow me to recharge and bring a fresh perspective to my work.
Overall, I strongly believe that the foundation of a child's education is built on a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. At KRK, my goal is to foster such an atmosphere and help our children grow into amazing human beings.
