Hamburg Center Director Kris Hider:
I was accepted into the EduKids Management Trainee Program in 2016 and was appointed Director the same year. Partnering with great leadership, and a talented, committed staff makes my job here rewarding. I am proud to work in the field of early childhood education and what better place to do that than at the nurturing community of EduKids.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Medaille College and a Master s in Education Administration from Canisius College. Providing young children an environment to learn and grow has always been vitally important to me. I have found that children have taught me as much, or more, as I have taught them. I am so thankful to be a part of their lives.
