After becoming a mother, Carol discovered her passion for early childhood development and education. She wanted better opportunities for her son, so she spent time exploring educational alternatives. Carol currently has experience as a Forest School Teacher and is looking forward to expanding her knowledge as an educator and growing along side her son and the children she crosses path with.

discovery coach

Tim Kennedy

Tim’s hard work and passion have resulted in an extraordinary life. Green Beret, UFC Fighter, and Television Host are all among his career highlights, but perhaps not as personally meaningful as Husband, Father, and Patriot. Tim is a great example of being unapologetically American!
