    Jenn Roberts, Director

    I have a B.S. in Sociology from California State University Long Beach with over twenty years of child care experience. I believe working with children is one of the most rewarding jobs a person could have. I began working as a Preschool teacher when I graduated from college in 1995. In 1997, I moved to the Infant room to be the Group Supervisor. In 1999, I accepted the position of Director where I remained until I left the program in 2012. I also taught CCD at my church from 2001-2014. I feel fortunate to have had wonderful early childhood educators help me raise my own children. I hope the families we work with feel the same. Jenn has been working as the Director of Kiddie Academy since July 2015.

I have always had a passion for working with young children. I have been a private nanny, a babysitter for families in my neighborhood, and a preschool teacher for Sunday School at my church for the past five years. It brings me so much joy to create a safe and happy environment for children to learn and play!"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." -Walt DisneyElisa is one of the original teachers hired to open Kiddie Academy in January 2016.

Hear from our parents

“My son Frankie has been going to Kiddie Academy since April of 2018. He loves Kiddie Academy.

I cannot say enough… ”
