Brianna Tracy
Lead Teacher
Hi, I'm Brianna and I've been here at KidZone for 8 years. I love being able to be a part of each child's life and seeing them overcome so many milestones and becoming the person they want to be. What I love most about school age is that I have known most of them for a long period of time. We create and keep a bond that allows them to be comfortable and learn things in their environment. I love that my age group is such a wide range because it allows for more social interactions between children, especially during group projects. Most importantly I love that my students are extremely helpful and kind to others.
