Kendall Rankins

I was born and raised here in Charlottesville, VA.   I graduated from Charlottesville High School in 2013 then studied at Old Dominion to receive my bachelor’s degree in psychology.  In between breaks, I would go home to work at a local gym caring for children in the children’s zone.  From there I grew bonds with families and began babysitting, which is when I really noticed my desire to love and care for children.  I came home from Old Dominion my junior year in 2016 and joined the KinderCare family.  For four and a half years I was a teacher in the wobbler program.  After having many years of experience and forming great bonds with families I then took on the role as the assistant director. In 2023, I was promoted to the Center Director position.

To see the joy you can bring to such bright, brilliant little faces is so rewarding!  I look forward to building more great bonds with all families, and staff members in the future.
