Kathleen Macdonald
Assistant Director
Kathleen Macdonald has been with Creative Kids Childcare Center since 2009. She began as a Teaching Assistant in the Infant Room, earned her Child Development Associate Credential in 2011, and later became a Lead Teacher, where she remained for several years. In July 2019, she was promoted to Assistant Director at the Kent school.
Having three daughters of her own inspired her to work in early childhood education. When they started attending school full-time, she began her career in childcare. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Scott, and their three daughters: Kaitlyn, Lauren, and Megan. She also enjoys camping, softball, and volunteering in her community.
Miss Sam
Teacher of the Year
Miss Sam is the very definition of warmth, kindness, and dedication. She is a spectacular example of what it means to be a teacher—loving her students deeply and going above and beyond every single day. Her little ones light up the moment they see her each morning, and that love never fades, even as they move on to their next chapters. It’s not uncommon to hear excited shouts of “Miss Sam!” from former students who still carry her love in their hearts. In the Infant Room, she builds a strong foundation where every child feels loved, supported, and nurtured during the most crucial months of their development.
