Hi! My name is Sydney Neal.

As a recent graduate of Lindenwood University, I am thrilled to be working at KECC! I have my BA in Early Childhood Education and have worked with students for several years in different roles.

Growing up in Illinois, I have loved exploring what Missouri has to offer since moving here.  In my free time, I love being in nature, hanging out with my family, or trying new restaurants!

Ms. Nikki

My name is Nicole Timlin (Ms. Nikki) and I have worked at KECC since July 2002 both in the classroom and for many years as the special education secretary in the main office. Prior to KECC, I taught two-year-olds, and I was also trained as a Parent Educator through Parents as Teachers. 
 
I was raised in Kirkwood, and I still live here with my husband Tim, a PE teacher at North Kirkwood Middle School, and our three kids, aged 11, 6, & 4 (I also have one adult daughter who grew up spending so much time at KECC and she now works for AT&T in Springfield). We just bought our dream home last summer and we are having fun making it our own. If you walk in the Greentree Parade, you’ll pass my house!
 
I’m very excited to meet you!
