Hi, my name is Lauren Kerstetter and I am the director here at Academy One Childcare and Preschool of Gahanna. I have worked in childcare for over a decade and knew from the beginning that working with children was the path I was meant to take. For many years I was an infant teacher before finding my passion for working in administration. I absolutely love building relationships with not just the children but also with the families, teachers and staff. Academy One felt like home the moment I walked in and I am so grateful to wake up each morning to come to a place that I love. I live here in New Albany with my daughter, Halle and my son, Julian. In our free time we love exploring new parks, spending time with family and getting comfy and watching movies together! It is truly a blessing to be involved in the early learning experiences of the children here at Academy One.
