Cindy Whisman- Director

Hi, I am Cindy and I am the  Director of All About Kids Anderson. Before moving to this position, I taught the Pre-K classroom at All About Kids, since 2011. I currently hold two Associate degrees and a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati. I also obtained a teaching license through the state of Ohio for Pre-Kindergarten.

I have two children who keep me very busy with their various activities. I love working with children and seeing their eyes light up when they discover something new. Working at AAK is great because we are teaching the future about recycling and being green!

I work 6:30-2:30 Monday through Friday and would love the opportunity to speak with you about your child’s needs. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak with me in person or via email, cwhisman@allaboutkidslc.com.

Kenzee Edwards- Front Desk Assistant

Hiya! My name is Kenzee and I am the front desk assistant here at All About Kids Anderson! I have worked for All About Kids since October of 2017 (though I did take a small hiatus this summer to stay home with my kiddos!)
I began my journey here in Room 4 and spent majority of my time in this classroom building lasting relationships with families and aiding in the growth and development of all the children I had in my classroom.  Working with your children is something I have grown to love more and more, it is a great passion of mine. I have 3 children of my own – my little sister Chayla, my son Zeke, and my daughter Kairie. Our family dynamic is different – but I wouldn’t change it for the world. My fiance Nick, and I are high school sweethearts. We’ve been together since 2014 – pretty crazy! Outside of work I spend my time coaching cheer for our 5/6 year old West Clermont girls – I absolutely adore this! In any free time I do have, I enjoy resting (lol), spending quality time with my kids, crafting and making cheer bows!

My hours are 9:15a-6:15p Monday through Friday.

Stephanie Curran- Infant Room 1

Hello, I’m Stephanie C. and I am one of the teachers in Room 1.  I grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida and currently live in Anderson.  I live with my husband Dave and our three children, Jordan, Emily, and Michael, and our cat Mittens.  I have two Child Associate’s Degrees (one in Preschool and Child Development and the other in Infant Curriculum, Development and Care).

In my free time I enjoy running, Zumba, shopping and being in the sunshine.  My favorite thing to do in the world is walking the beach and collecting seashells.  I chose to work with children because ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to be a teacher, so I decided to follow my dream.

I find inspiration everyday through working with the babies in the nursery and knowing that I am part of their first school experience.  I feel that it is a gift to me to help them explore the world around them.  I enjoy working at All About Kids because the staff is terrific to work with.  The name of the school says it all I think!  My hours are 6:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. if you need anything please let me know!
