A Minnesota native, Kelley has taught students in Kindergarten through Grade 3 in public and private schools in her home state and Colorado, where she arrived with her husband and their four children in 1999. She is a graduate of Bethel University who is especially passionate about Biblical integration with early learning and derives great professional joy from watching her students grow in their faith and love for Jesus.
Today, Kelley also enjoys her role as grandmother -- and says her heart is full when she gets to cook and have a big group around her table, enjoying good food, lively conversation and laughter.
Her favorite Bible verse: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” (Psalm 16:11)
