Meet the Director

My name is Kelly, and I’m the Preschool Director at Excelsior Preschool. I have a Child Development Site Supervisor Permit. I’ve had the joy of working in the child development field for 18 years. My journey began as a preschool teacher, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow into the role of a preschool director, a position I’ve held for the past 12 years. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-age kids, building strong relationships with families while witnessing children achieve important milestones.
