Keira has worked in childcare for over 13 years. Keira enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking her dog Rue, hiking, camping, and being outside. Keira chose Early Childhood Education after initially thinking of pursuing an Education Degree. After working in a summer camp at the YMCA she knew she wanted to pursue Early Childhood Education. What I love most about working with children is the ability to watch them learn and develop friendships. It is so neat to see children start as infants and progress through the program. One of the most rewarding parts of childcare is the relationships we get the build with the children and families we work with."
