    Kim Porter, Academy Director

    I have always had a passion to work with children and help educate them so that they can reach their full potential! I currently have my CDS and am working on my Bachelors in Education at Franklin University. I have 3 and a half years of experience in licensed centers and 1 year as an in-home provider. My family includes my husband Justin, our three kids, Larissa, Maliah, and Jaxton. We also have three dogs, Nala, Creed, and Beaux plus our cat named Whiskey. We love to travel and visit new places. I enjoy relaxing in my backyard by the pool or fire in my freetime.
