"Although I am new to Palmer this year, I have been associated with the director, Jeanette Doina for over 10 years. I was an administrative intern at her former school. I have her to thank for getting me into the 3 year old classroom. She saw a potential in me in the classroom and I haven't ever looked back again! I am passionate about creating a classroom atmosphere where children learn to speak up for themselves and others and work in the community for the best interests of the group. I am single, but am raising my 15 year old nephew and that keeps me real busy!"
- Kari Kinder, Teacher - Adventurers
"I am a former elementary arts instructor with over 20 years experience working with young children. Teaching is my first love, and working with little ones enables me to do what I enjoy most! I received my B.S. in Art Education at Bowie State University, an M.S. in Art Education from Florida International University and have taken several classes in Art Therapy. I am a vegetarian who maintains a healthy lifestyle."
