Hi, My name is Kimberly. I have been running Kim's Kids Playhouse and Preschool from my home since September, 1992. I married my husband, Rob on Valentine's Day, 1981. I was born and raised in Omaha, and spent many years in Independence, Missouri with my husband's family. We moved back to Omaha when our family started to grow and have found Omaha a great place to raise children. We have four children, and three wonderful grandchildren.
I graduated from Burke High School in 1975. I took Elementary Education courses at the College of Saint Mary's in Omaha. I settled into accounting for the banking field, utilizing a reporting and mortgage background. When my family began growing, I taught Sunday School for over six years, beginning in the preschool area and following my girls through their fourth and fifth grade classes. I was responsible for the lesson plans weekly and thoroughly enjoyed the teaching environment and experience.
As the girls got older, I was the co-leader in their Girls Scout Troop #361 for over eight years, Brownies through Cadets. We camped, created, marketed, and sold our way to a trip to Mall of America with 35 girls. We rented a bus, stayed in a Minnesota Girl Scout Camp, ate at Planet Hollywood, sang and had the time of our lives. It was a great experience, which made friendships and bonds that have lasted through today.
After my two boys were born, it was harder and harder to find a daycare situation I was comfortable with. When I couldn't find in a daycare what I wanted for my own children. I set out to provide a loving home environment that includes the lesson plans and stimulating activities for the kids, an atmosphere of fun, a place full of love and where children feel at home, safe and included. I maintain a clean, healthy safe home with a great place to explore inside and outside.
