Our Preschool Pathways Classroom

Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

I’m Adorah Mwankemwa,

I have over 11 years of experience in childcare—ranging from babysitting and teaching Sunday school to working in professional childcare facilities. It has been a truly rewarding journey to watch the children in my care grow and develop in all areas.

I earned a certification in Mediation and Conflict Resolution from Collin College, which has greatly enhanced my communication and interpersonal skills in the classroom.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, drawing, and painting. I also love exploring new foods and places, taking walks while listening to my favorite music, volunteering at my church, and most importantly, taking time to relax and recharge.
