Meet Our Team
Our team of teachers are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the children we care for. We all have a variety of experiences and personalities to make Klever Kids what it is today!
Administration
Owner
I'm Holly Dube owner of Klever Kids, which I opened in 1999. I have a degree in Early Childhood and have been in the field for over 30 years. I have worked with all ages of children and enjoy each group and the challenges they offer. I have two daughters, two cats, and two dogs that keep me very busy. When I'm not working I love the outdoors, especially during the warmer months.
Director
Hello! My name is Chelsea Cwalina, and I am honored to serve as the Director here. I have been in the field for 17 years and have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked here in my early twenties and being back has felt like coming home. I love supporting our teachers, building a warm, family-like community, and giving parents the peace of mind that their children are cared for, supported, and genuinely loved by our amazing staff. Outside of work, you can usually find me doing arts and crafts, enjoying a good nap when I can, and spending time with my four boys, who range in age from 21 to 2 and keep life full of fun, energy, and adventure.
