Our Staff
Kimberly Bogert
Director/Head Teacher
I have had the honor of serving as the Director and Head Teacher of Little Scholars Preschool since 2016. I hold an A.S. degree in Early Childhood Education from Gateway Community College and a B.S. degree in Child Development from Charter Oak State College. With over 24 years of experience working with children, ranging from infants to Kindergarten, the majority of my time has been dedicated to teaching PreK 3 and PreK 4. I am also certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, and Medication Authorization.
​
My passion lies in providing children with a loving, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate foundation for lifelong learning. I believe in the power of play as a valuable learning tool and am committed to creating a safe and enriching environment where children can grow in all areas of development.
​
Beyond teaching, I have a deep love for travel. Recently, I became a certified travel agent and launched my own business, Adventures by Kimberly. I’ve had the opportunity to explore much of the U.S., parts of Europe, and the Caribbean, though Disney World holds a special place in my heart! My goal is to visit every state and hike each of the National Parks with my family. I live in Wallingford with my husband, David; our son, Dylan (14); and our dog, Rocco. Together, we enjoy traveling, hiking, and spending quality time with family through game and movie nights.

Assistant Teacher

​
I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2007 with a degree in Accounting and spent several years working as a CPA at a prominent accounting firm. After the birth of our first child, my husband and I decided that I would focus on raising our three children while supporting his active-duty military career.
​
I am excited to be in my second year with the Little Scholars Preschool team! Having had all three of our children attend the preschool, I have seen firsthand the positive and enriching environment it offers. I’m eager to continue contributing my creativity and enthusiasm to the program. I am also certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, and Medication Authorization.

​My husband, Sean, and I live in our hometown of Rocky Hill with our children, Jonathan (11), Maeva (8), and Mac (6). These days, I can be found on the sidelines, cheering for my kids as they participate in their various sports activities.
