Ms. Valerie
I live in Sterling with my husband and 3 boys. My oldest two graduated from KUC and my youngest is starting his second year here. I am a JMU graduate with a degree in elementary education. I started my career as a Kindergarten teacher in Fairfax County, for 7 years, but when my oldest was born I chose to stay home. Last year I decided it was time to go back to the classroom and I am so glad I did! I love little people!
As a parent I watched my oldest children develop a true love of learning in an environment that was filled with love and laughter! I wanted to be a part of it! The teachers love their job and the kids, and it shows! Being a part of KUC has really encouraged that love of teaching in me again.
It’s a blessing to be a part of your child’s early education! Seeing how much they grow throughout the year, building confidence and skills, making friends and memories is the best part of being a teacher. I aim to create an environment where your child feels safe and secure to explore, grow, make mistakes, and truly see how much they can do. Thank you! I look forward to seeing you this Fall!
