Mrs. Liebrich at St. Leo’s Campus

Hello! My name is Kimberly Liebrich, and I am the Universal Pre-Kindergarten teacher at St. Leo’s School in conjunction with Four Seasons Child Care & Preschool. I am married and have 2 grown children, and I am the proud Grandmother to my sweet Granddaughter, Margot. Hobbies that I enjoy are knitting, canning, reading and spending time with my family and pets.

I currently hold my Bachelors degree in early childhood education (Birth-2nd) and my Masters degree in childhood education (1st-6th) This will be my 19th year teaching pre-kindergarten students, and it is an absolute joy to come in everyday and teach this age group! I always say that one should never stop learning- and I do learn so much from working with pre-kindergarten kids. We work hard, but have so much fun together; it is my hope that I give all of my students’ a strong foundation and a genuine love for learning!
