Director - Michelle Eide

Michelle is the Director of Creation Kids and oversees both locations.  She has been the Director since August of 2000 when the program started.  Michelle started Creation Kids with only five children enrolled and grew each year to reach our maximum number of 80 children enrolled in our North Liberty location.  In August of 2011 she opened the doors to our second location in Coralville.  With an enrollment of 40 children.  Michelle is a graduate of Kirkwood College and has her degree in Early Childhood Eduation.  She also has her National Administration Credential from the National Child Care Association.  Michelle frequently attends trainings and conferences to find ways to improve the center.  
    Michelle and her family live in North Liberty.  She is a wife and mother of two girls ages 3 and 5!  Michelle and her husband enjoy their time with the girls playing board games, reading and going on family adventures!  In her free time which is usually limited she enjoys scrapbooking.  
    Michelle has opened the doors for many families in the community.  She strives to create more opportunities for children and to watch them learn and grow.  It is her passion to make Creation Kids the "best" it can be!  Michelle's favorite thing about Creation Kids is the amazing relationships that are formed between the families and staff. 

"We wouldn't be where we are today without the amazing families, staff and the continued support of the church!"
