A Message From the Principal
Lorinda Ungerer (Lolla)
Greetings and a warm welcome to Kiddies Paradise, where your child finds their second home. I am absolutely thrilled to make your acquaintance. As the Principal of Kiddies Paradise Preschool, I've had the distinct pleasure of being part of this incredible school for 18 years. It has truly been an honor and a privilege.
I wholeheartedly believe that my journey to Kiddies Paradise was guided by a higher calling. All credit and gratitude go to God for being my steadfast companion on this remarkable journey thus far.
My journey began with the littlest ones in our care, the babies. From there, I've had the joy of growing alongside and nurturing children of every age group. This has always been my passion, and it remains as strong today as it was then. Looking back, I am grateful for the unwavering leadership and support from my colleagues. It was challenging but profoundly rewarding.
Beyond the school, my life holds a variety of interests. I enjoy fishing and hunting adventures with my husband, engaging in spirited netball matches with my daughter, and exploring my creative side through drawing. Quality time spent with my three loyal Rottweilers, family, and friends is the most cherished aspect of my life. Time, I've come to realize, is a precious gift, and I aim to savor every moment.
The sweetest moments of my day at school are when the children catch sight of me. They rush over like a gust of wind, brimming with excitement, just to share a warm hug. The delight that radiates from their faces is priceless, and it's moments like these that fill my heart with joy.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your child's educational journey at Kiddies Paradise.
