Meet the Teachers
Ms. Melissa, Lead Educator
Ms. Sam, Classroom Educator
Born and raised in Kirkwood, I am a Keysor, NKMS, and KHS alum. (Go Pioneers!)
I graduated from Mizzou (Go Tigers!) with a B.S. in Elementary Education. I am certified in elementary, early childhood, and early childhood special education.
In 2012, I moved back home to Kirkwood and joined the KECC team in 2013. I've held a variety of roles here, and I am excited to begin my first year as a full-time Panda room educator!
Ms. Kelly, Classroom Educator
Hello, my name is Ms. Kelly Hagen. I have been working professionally with children since 2002. I have taught several different age groups, starting as young as 6 weeks old. For the past 15 years, I taught infants & toddlers.
I married my high school sweetheart, Joe and we live in Fenton with our 19 year old daughter, Kayla.. When I am not working, I love spending time with my family; I love to shop, go to the zoo & take pictures.
In 2024, I joined KECC & look forward to a great year in the Panda room.
