Ms. Kiara has been working in the early childhood education field since 2020 and holds her Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential. She is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Columbus State University and is passionate about creating a structured, nurturing classroom where every child feels supported, confident, and excited to learn. Kiara’s favorite part of teaching is knowing she is making a positive impact in the lives of young children. She loves watching children build confidence, discover new skills, and explore the world around them while celebrating each milestone along the way. Outside of the classroom, Kiara enjoys shopping for unique finds, reading, baking sweet treats, and spending time with family and friends. A fun fact about Kiara is that she was born just eight minutes before becoming a Taurus, making her an Aries by only a few minutes. She also speaks a bit of French and enjoys learning about different languages and cultures. One of her favorite children’s book series is Junie B. Jones because of its humor, imagination, and the confidence it inspires in young readers. Guided by her favorite quote, “This is anything but easy, but you are anything but weak,” Kiara believes that perseverance, encouragement, and believing in every child’s potential help build the confidence they need to succeed.
