Director

Kimberly Rucker, CDA - Director at Learning Paths Academy Occoquan

Kimberley Rucker, CDA
About Me

My name is Kimberley Rucker, and I’m honored to introduce myself as your Director here at Learning Paths Academy at Occoquan. I grew up in Alexandria, Virginia, and bring with me 33 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in many roles—from an infant and preschool teacher to Assistant Director, and now Director. I also earned my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential during my time in the field. I am a proud mother of four wonderful children—three daughters and a son—and I’m also blessed with three beautiful grandchildren. My love for working with children began while raising my own. I truly enjoyed being around them and their friends, and I realized how fulfilling it was to help nurture and guide young minds. What motivates me most is happiness—seeing children smile, helping families feel supported, and being part of a caring community. One of my favorite moments each day is greeting our children and families in the morning—it sets a positive tone for the day and reminds me why I do what I do. It brings me great joy to know that the children and parents here at Learning Paths Academy at Occoquan feel loved and supported—and that they know Ms. Kim truly cares for them. I look forward to getting to know each of you and continuing to build a nurturing, joyful environment together.
