About Us
Director : Jiyon Jennifer Kim
Greetings to all the families and teachers,
I am excited to be part of DreamTree Preschool as a Director. My passion for educating young children started when I studied child development courses at the University of Washington in 1995. After graduating from UW with speech and hearing science and linguistics degrees, I discovered the Montessori Approach to early childhood education and found it to be very convincing. I completed a teaching certificate from Montessori Teacher Preparation of WA in 2003.
Since then, my journey as an educator has been full of adventures and discoveries; from the schools in Vancouver, Canada, and Orange County, California, to the schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, I would set up new programs and transform existing programs into something extraordinary. It has been a rewarding career for me, witnessing hundreds of children blossoming into responsible individuals and new parents gaining the confidence to guide children.
As I embark on yet another journey with DreamTree Korean English bilingual school, I invite you all to be part of this wonderful ride with me every step of the way to walk alongside our children and prepare them for a future that is brighter than our own.
