Hi, I'm Jana W.  I'm the Movers PM Lead Educator. I am currently enrolled at Tennessee State University studying Early Childhood Education.  I'm originally from Chicago and my childcare experiences include preschool and aftercare (from infants to nine year olds).  These experiences have fostered a love for teaching young children. Jana is a very thoughtful teacher who structures her activities to suit their individual learning styles of the children.  She facilitates this process by engaging children through asking questions, challenging ideas, and presenting a stimulating environment.  Jana's authenticity, creativity, and enthusiasm is a valuable addition to Just A to Z Academy.
  
My name is Kimberly I.  I am the Pumpkin Patch Assistant Educator. I'm a wife and loving mother of two.  My children are Dezirae (daughter) and Braiden (son).  I knew from an early age I would pursue a career in childcare.  Therefore, being at Just A to Z Academy preschool is best for me. I spend most of my time with my children playing games, riding our four wheelers, watching movies, playing soccer, and much more.  I have always loved children.  The small things in life mean so much to me like their first words, the first time they walk, and simply just growing.  Therefore, to be a teacher, I wake up every morning with a smile on my face, ready to face the day and see the lives of the little ones I may enhance today.
       

Hi, my name is Jessica E. I am the Romper Room  Educator.  I have 4 years of experience in childcare.  I am a single mother of two wonderful children.  Darren, my son, is five years old and Alyssia, my daughter, is seven years old. Alyssia was born with a physical disability which requires her to be in a wheelchair.  My children were the reason why I decided to go into childcare.  I love children very much and I love to watch them grow and learn.  I can only hope that I can make a difference in each and every one of their lives.  So being here at Just A to Z Academy gives me that opportunity to try and share what I have learned and make a good impact on all the children I come in contact with.
