Kim Sucan received both her bachelor’s and master’s of Education from Emory University. She began her career as a kindergarten teacher with Dekalb County Schools where she remained for 13 years. Kim came to the MJCCA as a curriculum coordinator at The Weinstein School in 2010. That same year she became Director of The Weinstein School and in 2018 was promoted to Director of MJCCA Preschools. “I absolutely love working with children, their families and the teachers. Seeing our preschool team make a difference in a child’s early years and being part of the beginning of their Jewish educational journey is so rewarding.”

Nancy has a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Alabama. She began her career as a lead teacher at The Sunshine School for the 3’s before launching the first 1-year-old full-day classroom, both writing the curriculum and assembling the teaching staff. During her tenure with the preschool, Nancy became Director of Camp Billi Marcus and then Assistant Director of the MJCCA’s former Midtown full-day preschool. During this time Nancy also taught at Temple Beth Tikvah Religious School. Later, she assumed the role of Office Manager at The Sunshine School and in recent years was a senior account executive for a local printing business. Nancy is thrilled to get back to her passion for education as Director of The Sunshine School. “Being at The Sunshine School feels like coming home. There is such camaraderie amongst the staff, and the families are so inclusive and welcoming. I love hearing the chitter-chatter and laughter in the halls, and seeing the curiosity and creativity that develops here on a daily basis.”
