Hi, My name is Mrs. Grace. I am the Owner/ Licensee of KCC. I have worked in Early Childhood Education for the past 13 years. I started by babysitting in my teens, then taking ECE in high school through TBA where I job shadowed at multiple centers and worked at a daycare. I then perused my love for teaching by taking college classes at NMC and received my Child Development Associates, as well as business management courses. I have two beautiful children of my own. Adison, 13 years old and Maverick, 4. I have always had a nurturing personality. It is my mission to make KCC feel safe and inviting. I love what I do and I cant wait to share it with you.
Miss. Martin
Program Director
Preschool Teacher
Hi, My name is Miss. Martin. I have always had a love for children due to me being the oldest of 9. My teaching career started 6 years ago when I began nannying for families in the area. I loved it so much I decided I wanted to teach. I am going on my sixth year here with KCC and I plan to further my education through Bay College by getting my associate's degree. I currently have my Infant & Toddler and Preschool CDA. When I am not teaching, I spend my time with my son, Deland, and his Dad. I also love spending time outside with my friends and family. I look forward to this year and I can't wait to meet you.

Infant/Toddler Teacher
Hello, My Name is Miss. Sarah. Teaching and Children have been a love of mine for as long as I can remember. I started teaching by homeschooling my five children for nearly 15 years! Once that season was over, I moved into being a fulltime nanny for several years. I loved it so much but wanted something more consistent so I am now here and can't wait for this new season with KCC.
