Director - Sally Reedy

It is my pleasure to be the Director of Kinder-Haus.  I arrived in New Holland in October of 2021 when my husband and I moved from Charlottesville, Virginia.  I have directed several other centers, including one in York, Pa. for 16 years.  I have taught in public and private schools (Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade).  My bachelor’s degree is in Social Work from Eastern Nazarene College (Mass.) and my graduate work is in Elementary Education from Millersville University (Pa.).

My husband, Bud, and I have two married children and three grandchildren; we love spending time with all of them.  We also enjoy traveling, sports, music, and food.  So, we are combining those favorite things by attempting to visit all the major baseball parks, finding the restaurants Guy Fieri has discovered, and seeking out local thrift stores in the area.

One of my greatest joys is to see the light go on in a child’s eyes when they learn something new.  It has been a lifelong goal to provide excellence in my facility as well as help other teachers meet their personal goals.  I am also deeply committed to sharing the love and hope that comes from a relationship with Jesus.

Assistant Director - Tammy Lieb

My name is Tammy Lieb.  I have been employed at Kinder-Haus since 2001.  Over the years I have held many positions while at the center.  I was a Pre-K Lead Teacher and Toddler Department Supervisor.  I also served as Interim Director for approximately a year.  Currently, I am the Assistant Director at our facility.

I graduated from Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport, PA with an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. Before coming to Kinder-Haus I worked at a few other child care center facilities as well as doing private child care in the home. 

 I am married to Jeff and have two teenage children.  I have enjoyed watching children grow physically and spiritually during my time at Kinder-Haus.

Administrative Assistant - Deb Henderson

I have been working at Kinder-Haus since August of 1988.  I work in the office as an Administrative Assistant.  My primary role is The Financial Manager.  However, I assist in many other areas.
