Meet the Teachers

 

Ms. Samantha, Lead Teacher

Hi!  I'm Samantha Eagan and I am so excited to join the KECC family in the Tiger room!  I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia (MizzouRAH!) with my bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education in 2010.  I have a MA and EdS from Webster University in Education and Innovation and Educational Technology Leadership.  The majority of my teaching career has been in kindergarten and early Childhood has always been my passion!  

My husband and I have twins, Colin and Sloane, and two pups, Carson and Tori.  We love traveling especially to the beach and the family lake house!  We enjoy cheering on our favorite sports teams, playing outside, trips to Target and I'll never turn down a Starbucks coffee.  I am excited to partner with you to help your children learn, grow and most importantly, have fun while doing it!

 

Ms. Alex, Classroom Educator

Hello, My name is Alex Ring.  I joined KECC in 2024 and I am so excited to be a Tiger! I graduated from Missouri State in 2023 and have been working professionally with kids for three years. I am passionate about creating a positive and engaging environment where children can thrive. 

Outside of work, I’ve been doing a lot of reading, if anyone ever has suggestions, please let me know!
