Ms. Kim

Ms. Kim, Site Manager and Group 1 Leader (Kindergarten)
I have been working for Discovery Club for 12 years. I graduated with a Sociology major at Hamline University. Discovery Club is great because it gives me the opportunity to get to know the children in our program as they progress from one grade to the next. When I'm not at Discovery Club, I love to travel! Some of my favorite places include Yellowstone and Oregon.

and am excited to meet the staff and kids over here at French Immersion.
I graduated from St. Olaf College in 2006 with a double major in Education and Studio Art. I went on to get a license to teach K-12 art in Minnesota.
My favorite part about working at discovery club is the opportunity to foster the creative abilities of the students I work with. Children have such creative minds and it is so wonderful to be around that kind of energy so often!
