I began my teaching career in 1993 and started at KECC in 2007.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Communicative Disorders from Mizzou and a Masters of Arts in Teaching from Webster University. 

I have a daughter at Mizzou (my husband and I are both alums so we’re all about the Tigers in my family!) and a son at Parkway South High School. 

I love getting to spend my days with preschoolers!

My name is Barb Guess and I’ve been an ECSE Educator at KECC for 17 years. I have a bachelor's and master’s degree in social work and a post graduate certificate in PBIS. I’m certified in Character Education from Character Plus. I have been married to Dave for 32 years and we love boating at Table Rock Lake. My daughter Katie teaches 1^st grade at a local charter school, she and her husband have a 19-month old daughter and a 3-month-old son that I get to see every day!  My son Alex is in medical school and lives in Chicago.

On a side note, I have metastatic breast cancer. It spread to my brain and I had radiation in April which caused me to lose my hair, I’m hoping it grows back soon! If the students ask, I simply tell them I had to take medicine that made me lose my hair. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I’m looking forward to working and playing with your child this year!

In 2001, I began teaching at KECC! 

I have a daughter that lives in St. Louis with her husband and my granddaughter Annie and another daughter that lives in St. Louis with her husband and my grandson Gabriel. 

Looking forward to a year filled with fun with all of our Frog friends.
