I recently moved to Kendallville but have lived in Northeast Indiana since I was 6 years old. I have four boys of my own and four wonderful grandchildren whom I adore!

Greetings! My name is Tina Lee. I am excited to be a part of the Kendallville Day Care Center team! I will be working with the program curriculum and supporting the staff in their everyday needs! I have been working in early education for over 14 years. I obtained my associate degree in early childhood education in 2015, from Ivy Tech, and my bachelor’s degree in early education in 2017 from Purdue University. I am originally from California but have lived in Garrett for the past 20+ years. I grew up in the Albion area, graduated from Central Noble, and have recently moved back to Albion to be closer to family and our farm, where we raise rabbits, chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, and pigs! I have a 17-year-old daughter and two stepchildren, 17 and 19. I have coached youth athletics, soccer, and track, for over 20 years, and assist with 4H, FFA, and the Oasis Youth Center. I am also a published writer and photographer. I absolutely adore children! I am always seeking to observe, reflect, and grow from children and peers in my field and am a lifelong learner! I truly feel every child is a gift, has a story to tell, and each unique person has an important contribution to our society!
