Natalia Blondet, Academy Director

My name is Natalia Blondet, and am filled with joy to have the opportunity to utilize the 30+ years of youth development and leadership experience. in carrying out the mission here at Kiddie Academy.  I look forward to adding to the educational and caring environment as well as partnering with the staff and families.  Twenty-eight years ago, I said yes to the love of my life. We have three adult children and one grandchild.I graduated with an Associate in Arts/Early Childhood Education from Purdue University and also have a degree in ministry. I taught Head Start in Merrillville, Gary, and South Haven. I was a Spanish and Bible Middle School Teacher. My experience in youth development ranges from teaching Head Start, running a daycare home, and being a director of a youth development program in the urban area of Indianapolis. My leadership skills have allowed me to be an executive director of a furniture bank and a part of the leadership team at a CDC. At the CDC, I was able to develop the initiative to serve the local community's children who experienced a lot of trauma. The programs served 1st - 12th graders. I am happy to return to serve the families of younger children. I believe children are the best investment into our future and supporting families are the greatest gift of all.
