McKenna Jenkins, BS, Lead Teacher

McKenna graduated from OSU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Sciences and a minor in Psychology. McKenna’s favorite part about teaching is getting to know the kids, each with their own unique personalities.

“Working with children has always been a joy for me, as there is nothing more rewarding than getting to be a part of their learning and development.”

Kimberly Salazar-Fierros, AA, Assistant Teacher

Kimberly has been teaching for about 5 years. She believes in the power of play as a learning tool, and in creating a relationship of trust with children and families. She also believes in the beauty of imagination.

Mary Morgan, AA, Assistant Teacher

Mary has worked as an Assistant Teacher since November 2021. She has a small family – her brother, and her mom along with their two dogs. She has been teaching for about 5 years now. Teaching is important for everyone because we are all teachers in our own way. Passing on skills to children means that you’re a teacher. Mary loves working with children because they bring joy to her in different ways. Mary is happy to be a part of the Old Mill Center family.
