A Message From Site Director Kirsty Broadnax
“Everyday when I come to work I’m excited to be part of the Tendertots team on Teller Ave. And I equally look forward to collaborating with each of you on the children’s educational journey. I have worked in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 15 years. My specialty is in being a compassionate and supportive director to all students, families, and teachers. I am especially proud of my ability to help in easing the transition from home to school to help students, staff and families become more comfortable.
I hold an AA in Journalism and a BA in English/Education. I believe at this stage school should feel like a second home for students, teachers, and families; A place where we all work together to create the best possible foundation, for not just learning, but a love of learning. I look forward to working with you all!”
