"I moved to Tennessee almost a year ago this October and when I first got here, I had medical field experience and that’s what I was applying for jobs and I was not getting anywhere with those interviews. So last December I was scrolling through Facebook and I saw that Kiddie Kingdom daycare was hiring and I applied end of January of this year I got hired and I always knew I had a love for children because one day I hope to be a wife and a mom so working with children has always been a dream of mine. I ended up becoming the lead teacher in big Paris, which is big preschool and I loved it. I started TECTA Orientation, and I was just like you know I really can see myself going far in early childhood education. So, after I completed TECTA Orientation, I signed up for my CDA classes and so far, it has made me want to pursue a degree in early childhood education because my goal is to be a kindergarten teacher. I love my kids. I love the relationship and bonds that I formed with them in their parents and it’s just been a really great time. " - Najee McKinney
