Hi, my name is Lucy. I have been working for Minds N Motion since 2023 and have enjoyed working as a part of this team! I truly love working with all age groups. I take great joy in being apart of children’s learning and growth journey. Outside of work I like to spend time with my family, friends, and pets. I also enjoy shopping and exploring new places. I’m eager to continue supporting the children and being apart of their exciting growth and learning!

​​Hi everyone! I’m Kelsey. I first joined Minds N Motion in 2021, took a little break, and happily rejoined the team in 2025. As a proud mom to my two-year-old son, Ryder, who means the world to me, I have a special affinity for working with toddlers—there's something so joyful about their curiosity and energy! When I'm not in the classroom, you can often find me enjoying some tractor pulling or camping, both of which are my favorites!

My name is Emily Santerre, and I have been with Minds N Motion since 2015. I am certified from birth to school age and am currently a lead teacher in the two-year-old room.

Hollywood Two's Assistant Teacher
My name is Kimberlee. I'm born and raised in St. Mary’s County. I’ve been in childcare for three years now. But my love for children didn’t start there. I am the oldest of seven kids, and I have always loved being a big sister and playing that role! I’m currently in the 2-year-old room and love that age group! Watching them grow into independent, smart kids is my favorite part! I have always worked with two-year-old's, but I have been in every room and I am passionate about my work.
