    Jennifer Hackett, Education Director

    Hello! My name is Ms. Jenny and I am the Education Director here at Kiddie Academy of Plainfield. I have been working at child care facilities since I’ve been 20. I have worked in all classrooms from infant to the school age program. I would have to say my absolute favorite is the infant and toddler age. I decided from that point that I wanted to do this forever so I went to the College of DuPage and received my Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my daughter Lexi and I also enjoy camping on the weekends with my family. With Kiddie Academy's Life Essentials Curriculum your child will begin the journey towards mastering the skills they will need in those important elementary years. Whether it be what they are learning in the classroom to what they are having for lunch-your goals are our goals. I love watching the children grow and learn-from taking their first steps to receiving their first report card. My desire is to provide the most nurturing, educational and interactive environment possible for your children. I look forward to building a relationship with your family!

    Katie Davidson, Academy Director

    Hello! My name is Ms. Katie and I am the director here at Kiddie Academy of Plainfield. I have been working with children since I was 17 years old at the Jolie Park District. There I worked with children who had special needs. As I continued through my life, I decided that I enjoyed working with children that I went on to receive my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Rasmussen University. It is something that I became passionate about at an early age. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my 10 month old son named Beau, along with being outdoors most of the time. I look forward to working with each and every family that chooses Kiddie Academy of Plainfield. I believe that exposing children to an early childhood curriculum is the first step in laying the foundation for a successful elementary education. As the Director of a leading educational childcare academy, I'm able to bring my years of education and experience to life.
