Mary's Children

Our mission is to nurture the God-given dignity of children and families by offering a model, year-round preschool. Kelly Lundin is an experienced teacher who has taught kindergarten and preschool for over 10 years. She has also served as a preschool director, early childhood coach and teacher trainer. Mrs. Lundin has a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola University of Maryland in Elementary Education and a Master of Arts in Teaching from The University of Southern California. She will be opening this preschool to have four children join her and her two children in their faith-filled, Catholic home. The home includes a large back room with a fully equipped, indoor-outdoor classroom. The preschool will eventually expand to ten total children. Mrs. Lundin will be assisted by Dr. Ernestina Fuentes who obtained a Doctorate in Education from Harvard University. Dr. Fuentes brings significant insight and expertise with her over 35 years of service as an educator.
