Meet the Staff

Kathy Webb

Director

Kathy has been a teacher here since 1986, although, she has been in the teaching field for over 25 years. In the beginning years she taught the young 3´s. She moved to the 4/5´s for one year before settling in to the older 3´s where she taught for the next 14 years. In January 2003 the Director retired and she stepped into the role of teaching and directing. After 2 years of juggling both roles the decision was made in 2006 to devote full time as preschool director. Although she is no longer in the classroom as a teacher she spends a lot of her time with the children, staff and parents.
