Hello, my name is Karen Kennard. I am excited to work with all of you this semester. I live in Saline, Michigan with my husband of twenty-four (24) years. I have twin daughters who are also attending local colleges and an English Cream Golden Retriever named Bailee who is forever my baby. I work in the Milan School District where I am a Lead Infant Teacher in the Early Education program and am currently pursuing my Associate's Degree.

Bailee is an English Cream Golden Retriever and we have had her since she was a puppy. She is such a character. She is so loving and brings so much joy to our family. Our favorite time of day is after dinner when she snuggles up with us as we wind down for the evening.

My passion is teaching young children. I love introducing infants and toddlers to new things in their world and watching their eyes light up and their minds absorb these new things. They are like sponges who can never get enough of new opportunities and adventures. I get such satisfaction from telling my infants and toddlers what our plans are for the day and having them jump up and down, clapping their hands, and yelling yay! I feel that children learn best through play and interactions with peers and caregivers.
