Kevin Pope, Director
My name is Kevin Pope, the Director of Kids of God at King of Glory. As the school's Director and a member of King of Glory Lutheran Church, I welcome you to the world of preschool surrounded by Christian faith.
​
I have worked extensively with children and families in both Early Childhood and Elementary levels. My professional experiences include classroom and school administration experience. I have previously served as a Preschool Director and Head of School for ages 2 - 6. Working in partnership with families to provide a nurturing and caring learning environment is essential to the development of the whole child. Kids of God at King of Glory Lutheran Church provides a child centered experience for children to develop freely at their own pace, guided by teachers with many years of experience in preschool education.

I have lived in the area since the age of two and reside in Little River. It will be fun working under the umbrella of this church, because I attended preschool here when I was a young girl. I have my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education and am currently finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Education. I love teaching little ones because of curiosity and exploration that they have for learning new things. I have two nephews and a little niece who all attended this preschool too. On my free time, I enjoy camping, baking and traveling.
I have lived in the area for 30 years and reside in Little River. I have been teaching preschool at King of Glory for 18 years. I love being able to teach the little ones and watch them grow - seeing the children make new friendships and enjoy learning and experiencing new things.
I have been married to my husband for 30 years and we have 2 beautiful daughters and 2 energetic grandsons! In my spare time I enjoy traveling, long walks, and gardening.
