Hi and welcome! I'm Karen and I will be serving as your new Director of KUCI. This will be my 14th year as part of this preschool program, where I started as a teacher, then Curriculum Coordinator, and now Director. I have over 30 years of experience in Early Childhood Education throughout the US and in the UK. I earned my undergraduate degree in Elementary/Early Childhood Education and my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. Teaching in schools and in church children's ministry in so many places has allowed me to combine the best of practices for our school's curriculum. KUCI is my favorite place to be! We have an amazing staff, wonderful kids, and fabulous families. Please reach out if you have any questions. I pray that God will continue to bless our program for years to come.
Director
