What does our staff say about working for CKC?

Hear from our current teachers:

• Mrs. Nandy, 4K Lead, 12 years at CKC, "12 years ago, I started my journey as an Assistant Teacher here at the Crossroads, and it's been a privilege to become a teacher and witness these kids grow since they were really young. It became my passion to come to work and do my job as best I can because these children have become my motivation, to hopefully make a positive impact in our world, just like I have as a mother to my own kids. These years have taught me so much, but I am still learning something new every single day. Thank you to my students and the Crossroads for this beautiful opportunity."
• Miss Hannah, Threes Lead, 3 years at CKC, "Since starting at CKC I have been in every room, and it’s hard to decide which one is my favorite! I’m grateful that I have become part of this family because if I ever need someone to talk to, there is always a listening ear. I’m happy with the relationships I have formed with other staff and the parents of my kiddos and cannot wait to grow the relationship as I continue to grow in childcare!"
