My name is Kelly Davis and I am new to the Little Footprints family. I have my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Kean University and started my masters in education, completing phase 1 of the New Pathways to Teaching program. I’ve been a stay at home mom for the past 12 years to my two boys, ages 9 and 12. Before becoming a mother I was a nanny to two little girls and a substitute teacher, having a long term job in kindergarten. I love working with children and enjoy cultivating the love of learning. My desire is to create a safe, loving and fun learning environment that supports each child’s social and emotional development.
