She feels blessed to have built wonderful relationships with the families over the years. Sierra College is where Kimberly attended, and took her ECE Courses and received her AA degree. When Kimberly is not busy with the Preschool, she enjoys spending time with family, her husband and 4 children, line dancing, boating, and scrapbooking.
