About Our Wonderful Teachers
Teacher Kym (Kym Meade) teaches Group I. She has a BA and a BS from Washington State University and was a KCP mom before teaching here. After substitute teaching for a few years at KCP, she became a full-time teacher for us starting in the fall of 2009.
An accomplished artist, Kym created murals on the walls of the preschool that are enjoyed by everyone. Teacher Kym also teaches two classes at Lake Washington Toddler Group. Her daughter and son are both in high school, and Kym is a PTA board member at both kids’ schools.
In her own words, “the lucky family that enrolls at KCP receives support, encouragement, and a wonderful sense of family as well as a strong bond with their community.”

Teacher Amy (Amy Williams) teaches Group III. She received her BA in Education from Western Washington University and a minor in Psychology with an emphasis in child development. She has a current teaching certificate, and her work experience includes teaching kindergarten, first grade, and literacy support.
All three of Teacher Amy’s children attended KCP between 2006 and 2012, and since then she has been a substitute teacher here at the preschool. Amy also served on the KCP board from 2007 to 2011 as a registrar and parent leader. She started substitute teaching Group III in September 2013 and was hired as the permanent Group III teacher in November 2013.

In her own words, "KCP gives families the wonderful opportunity to be involved in their children's first school and to be surrounded by a caring community of teachers and other parents. As a former kindergarten teacher, I am confident that KCP's developmentally appropriate and play-based program prepares children well for kindergarten."
