Tammy Kelly

Tammy has been in the field for nearly 25 years. What inspires her to make a difference in the lives of young children and their families is the heartfelt “thank you” from a parent at the end of the day because their child learned something new. She finds joy in the smile and excitement of a child who has just conquered a new skill. Tammy is dedicated to going the extra mile to ensure appreciation from the families she works with every day.
