I've been working with children for over five years. I enjoy watching them learn and grow every day.
I come from a large family: two brothers, two sisters, eleven nieces and nephews. I'm a very family oriented person.
I enjoy photography, creating art, reading, and watching movies.
I have two pets: a leopard gecko and a chihuahua mix.
I have worked with children and daycares since age 13. I love the Baby Room the best! Every Child is Precious.
My name is Kira Rutter. I am a Theatre Education major, with over two years experience teaching and directing. I love dance, music, and theatre arts, and love to work with children to adapt storybooks, music and their own imagination to create performances.
I have over 6 years experience in food service. I love to create menus, have experience with accounting and budgeting, taking inventory, and am well trained in appropriate food handling practices. I have a passion for food and prioritize nutritious but delicious food.

I have been around kids my whole life. I am a very cre8tive and crafty person. I attend Lincoln University where I will major in Elementary Education and Special Education. I believe every child deserves a chance no matter their background!
I love horses and music but my favorite animal is a tiger. I have worked with kids since I was about nine. I am very family oriented and I have a beautiful baby boy!
I have worked with Cre8tive Kids since May 2015. I have come to love each and every day I get to spend with the kids and other staff members. As I study childhood education, working with Cre8tive Kids has only deepened my belief in the quote --
"Children are not a distraction from the most important work, they are the most important work.
Mrs. Manli is a native of China. She shares her extensive knowledge of chinese culture with the children. Although she only has one daughter, she enjoys all children but especially loves the babies!
I have experienced raising kids of all ages for the past seven years. They are the most interesting conversationalists I've ever known! I have a big family and a cat named "Mr. Fancy Pants III". I enjoy English and teaching the kids to explore their world through books.

My name is Morgan and I recently moved here from Kansas City. I love my new job here at CRE8TIVE KIDS! I have been babysitting since I was 12 ears old. At CRE8TIVE KIDS I work in Tot Town with the 2 year olds. I have dreams of one day teaching preschool.
I love interacting with kids and doing what I can to help them develop skills and good habits. I have thirteen nieces and nephews and see their potential in everything they do. I hope to help as many children as I can use their potential to becoming amazing!
I graduated from Missouri State University in 2015 with a BSED in art and design with a minor in art history. I currently teach the architect class, and I am teaching them all about art! I'm a bit of a joker, but am very serious about teaching!
