Kiddie Academy of Alliance

Cambria Alcala

Director

Hello everyone! My name is Cambria Alcala, and I am absolutely thrilled to be the Director at your Kiddie Academy of Alliance! With over 13 wonderful years dedicated to early childhood education, I pour my passion into creating a safe, loving, and truly engaging play-based environment where every single child can flourish. I proudly hold two degrees—one in early child development and another in liberal studies with an emphasis on multiple subject teaching. I deeply believe in a strong partnership with our families to support every facet of a child's growth: social, emotional, and cognitive. My greatest goal is to cultivate a vibrant community overflowing with curiosity and kindness for both our amazing children and our dedicated staff. Providing high-quality care is my true passion, and I am so excited to embark on this incredible learning journey with you and your child! Please, never hesitate to reach out with any questions—I'd love to connect.

Kayla Kilgore

Assistant Director

My name is Kayla Kilgore and I am the Assistant Director here at Kiddie Academy of Alliance. I have 6 years of childcare experience. I joined the Kiddie Academy family in May 2018 as an Assistant Teacher for 12-17 month toddlers. I also spent time as a Floater and the Assistant Teacher for School Age and the 18-23 month Toddler Room. I joined Management in August of 2019. I graduated with my BA in Biochemistry in December of 2021. In the future, I will be looking to complete my certification to pursue my aspirations in the medical field. I love volunteering and attending church; I also volunteer as a toddler room teacher there as well. I love spending time with my family, puzzling, hiking and working out. Children have always been a huge part of my life. I spent my childhood years babysitting my younger sisters and cousins. I also spent 3 years tutoring students from grades 5-12 and loved every second of it! Every child at the daycare I look at as my own! I will continue to do everything in my power to make sure our kiddos are happy, comfortable, and feel loved!

Carrie Drinkuth

PM Supervisor

My name is Carrie Drinkuth and I am the PM Supervisor at Kiddie Academy of Alliance. I joined the Kiddie Academy team in January 2022 after moving from Cincinnatti, Ohio, where I'd spent several years in early childhood education. I began as an assistant teacher in the young toddler program (12-17 months) and was promoted to the position of PM Supervisor in 2023. I've now spent time in every classroom! In my free time, I enjoy taking photos of my friends, family and pets on disposable cameras and finding new coffee shops and brunch places to enjoy. I'm a huge music lover and am always looking for the next concert I'll attend.
