Meet Kemberly Lopez Lopez
Creating Joy Through Consistency and Care
With bright eyes and a gentle voice, Kemberly Lopez welcomes children into a world where learning feels like an adventure. For six years, she has been transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary opportunities for growth as an Assistant Teacher at A Child’s Touch. Her natural gift for connecting with young children creates an atmosphere where curiosity thrives and confidence blossoms.
“I believe that approaching each day with certainty gives children joy,” says Kemberly. This profound insight reveals her understanding that children’s sense of security forms the foundation for all learning. When children enter her classroom, they find a consistent, nurturing presence who celebrates their uniqueness and guides them through each developmental milestone with patience and expertise.
A Heart Dedicated to Children’s Growth
Kemberly’s journey in Early Childhood Education reflects her God-given calling to nurture young minds. Her specialized training in early childhood development and current CPR certification blend professional knowledge with her natural instinct for understanding children’s needs. This combination allows her to create developmentally appropriate experiences that engage children’s imaginations while building essential skills.
Her dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Kemberly proudly holds our “Award of Respect” – recognition that speaks volumes about her character and alignment with our core values. This honor highlights her exceptional ability to create an environment where children feel valued, heard, and respected. Parents often remark how Kemberly’s respectful approach to even the youngest children models the values they hope to instill at home.
Beyond the Classroom: Nature Enthusiast
When she’s not guiding children at A Child’s Touch, Kemberly can often be found exploring the great outdoors. Her personal passion for nature extends well beyond her professional life as she dedicates time to hiking local trails, identifying native plant species, and capturing the beauty of natural landscapes through photography. This genuine love for the environment enriches both her life and her approach to teaching, allowing her to share authentic experiences with the children she works with.
Kemberly’s weekend adventures often become Monday morning inspiration, bringing fresh perspectives and renewed enthusiasm to our nature-focused curriculum.On any given day, you might find Kemberly guiding children as they examine interesting leaves, construct nature art, or simply marvel at butterflies dancing in the breeze. She understands that children have an innate connection to the natural world – a connection that, when nurtured, develops not just environmental awareness but also problem-solving skills, creativity, and emotional resilience.
The Art of Emotional Intelligence
What truly sets Kemberly apart is her remarkable emotional intelligence. She possesses the rare ability to recognize each child’s unique emotional needs and respond with genuine warmth and understanding. For our youngest learners, from infants just six weeks old to curious toddlers, this emotional foundation is everything. Kemberly creates an atmosphere where children feel safe to express themselves, make mistakes, and grow from each experience.
“When children trust you, real learning can begin,” she shares. “That trust isn’t given automatically – it’s earned through consistency, respect, and genuine care.” This wisdom guides her interactions throughout the day, whether she’s comforting a child during drop-off, mediating a sharing challenge, or celebrating a newfound skill. Kemberly understands that these seemingly small moments are actually building the emotional intelligence and social skills that will serve children throughout their lives.
Bringing Learning to Life Through Play
Walk past Kemberly’s classroom and you’ll hear laughter, excited chatter, and the beautiful sounds of active learning. You might see children measuring ingredients for a cooking project, building elaborate structures, or acting out stories with puppets. Rather than passive instruction, Kemberly engages children as active participants in their educational journey, honoring their God-given curiosity and desire to understand the world through hands-on exploration.
Throughout the day, she seamlessly blends structured activities with free exploration, understanding that both approaches have important roles in development. Morning arrivals are marked by warm welcomes and genuine questions like “How did you sleep?” or “What are you excited about today?” – simple conversations that establish connection and set a positive tone. Even challenging moments become growth opportunities in Kemberly’s capable hands. “Difficult moments are actually wonderful opportunities for growth,” she notes. “When a child struggles with sharing or expresses big emotions, they’re learning important life skills with our guidance.”
Building Bridges Between School and Home
Kemberly understands that meaningful education extends beyond our walls. She prioritizes regular communication with families, sharing insights about developmental milestones and celebrating each child’s unique progress. Her approach recognizes parents as the first and most important teachers in a child’s life, creating a partnership that honors family values while providing professional guidance and care.
As an integral member of our teaching team at A Child’s Touch, Kemberly embodies the Christ-centered, non-denominational values that have guided our center since 1977. Her contributions extend throughout our state-of-the-art facility, from our secure environment with fingerprint verification to our specialty “Lil Extra” programs. When children excitedly talk about “Miss Kemberly” at home, often attempting to recreate classroom activities and songs, it’s a testament to the meaningful connections she builds. Her six years of dedicated service reflect our commitment to stability and excellence – creating the secure attachments that allow children to thrive as they experience the magic of childhood in an atmosphere of faith, honesty, respect, and creative curiosity.
