I have a Child Development Associate Credential and the National Administrators Credential and have previous teaching experience in Pre-K and first grade classes in the Atlanta public school system.

I joined Kids `R` Kids in Bogart as an Assistant Director in January 2005. I have been in early education since 1989 both as a teacher and an administrator. I have a Bachelor`s degree in Biblical Studies, but I also majored in Social Science and Elementary Education, and have recently received the National Administrators Credential. I was in an "Allstate Band" in high school and won recognition as an "Allstate Flautist" as well. I have been involved in music with church and school ever since. My husband, Chris, and I are very involved in the children`s program at our church, and we enjoy watching old movies, going on walks and hanging out with our nieces and nephews. I have taught children from six weeks to 12 years of age and have loved every minute of it! My favorite thing about working with children is seeing the joy on their faces when they accomplish a new task. I can be reached at kathy@krk23ga.com
