Hi, Welcome to Kids R Kids # 23 Georgia !
My
name is Corinne Bundy. In January 2003, I became the new owner of Kids 'R'
Kids #23. My parents, Tom and Carol Kilroy built this center and are now
trying to retire. Please visit the "Our History" page to learn
more about the beginning of our preschool.
I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Georgia State University, and held financial positions at Georgia Pacific and Emory University School of Medicine before joining our Kids 'R' Kids family. I have a son, Matt, who attends college and occasionally works here with us when on school breaks. I also have 2 teenage stepsons, Sean and Stefan, who enjoy playing lacrosse. My husband and I enjoy playing tennis and golf and I work on Sudoku puzzles to relax.
Please feel free to e-mail me directly at corinne@krk23ga.com with any questions, concerns or comments you may have.
Gina Lonnee, Director gina@krk23ga.com
I
have worked in the early education field for 17 years, and have served in a
Directorship role with Kids 'R' Kids since we opened in January 2000. I
graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Education from the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. While in college, I worked in a lock-down
classroom setting with troubled youth, and witnessed first-hand how a structured
and nurturing learning environment can turn a child in the right direction.
After graduating, I taught several years in a private program for two-year olds,
worked with school-agers, and progressed into a Kindergarten classroom before
moving to Athens in 1997. I am a member of both the National Association for the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and the Georgia Association for the
Education of Young Children (GAEYC). I have also worked with Directors from
other early learning centers in the Athens area in supporting a regular dialogue
to coordinate and address early learning issues locally. In my spare time, I
enjoy being with my husband and two children (daughter Marin and son Jack) -
especially if we are swimming camping, or taking in a minor league baseball game
- and being an active part of my church family.
Deandra Harris, Senior Assistant Director deandra@krk23ga.com
I'm
a Senior Assistant Director at Kids 'R' Kids. I have been with Kids 'R' Kids
since January 2000. I have a Child Development Associate Credential (CDA)
and have previous experience as a Pre-K Assistant for two years, a first grade
teacher assistant in the Atlanta Public Schools, and a coordinator of
After-School Programs for Grades K-5. I was chosen the "Employee of
the Year" in 2000 at Kids 'R' Kids and was selected the "Parents'
Choice Award" recipient in 2001 and 2002. I enjoy spending time with
my husband and two children, playing sports and collecting children's books.
Kathy Cason, Assistant Director kathy@krk23ga.com
I joined Kids 'R' Kids #23 as an Assistant Director in January
2005. I have been in childcare for 16 years, both as a teacher and
an
administrator. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies but I also
majored in Social Science and Elementary Education, and have recently received
the National Administrators Credential. My husband, Chris, and I are very
involved in the children's program at our church, and we enjoy watching old
movies, going on walks, and hanging out with our nieces and nephews. I
have taught children from six weeks to 12 years of age, and I have loved every
minute of it. My favorite thing about working with children is seeing the
joy on their faces when they accomplish a new task.
