Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers (CACC) recently welcomed their new Finance Director, Kissaundra Thomas.
Thomas has her Associates Degree in Accounting and will be graduating with her Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Strayer University this May. She enjoys working with numbers and says that accounting gives her a great foundation of knowledge that can be applied in many ways.
Prior to working at Critchlow Adkins, Thomas worked for 4 1/2 years with the Caroline County Department of Social Services Child Support Enforcement Unit. She says that children and their wellbeing have always been important to her, so finding a job at Critchlow Adkins where she can use her accounting talents to help children was a natural fit.
Thomas was born and raised in Federalsburg, MD and has an 11 year old daughter named Eniyah. She loves to read, travel, shop, and spend time with family.
When asked about her time at CACC, she says, “So far, my experience has been great. Everyone is friendly, hands on, and very supportive.”
Thomas is excited to be working at Critchlow Adkins, sharing, “What inspires me about CACC’s mission is not only does CACC provide children with a good start to life by assisting them with necessary skills, but also assisting the families as well.”
Critchlow Adkins Executive Director Cristy Morrell is happy to have Thomas join the CACC family. She shares, “Kissaundra is such a wonderful addition to our team. She has some big shoes to fill from our outgoing Finance Director Katie Schroeder, but she is stepping into them capably and with great enthusiasm.”
Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers is a nonprofit dedicated to providing quality, financially accessible childcare for children and their families in a nurturing, diverse, safe, and enriching environment. CACC offers year-round preschool programs, pre-K through 5th grade before- and after-school care, and summer camp programs.
Children throughout CACC’s programs benefit from their innovative, literature-based educational enrichment STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities. These fun projects teach children of all ages to use critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, and instill in them a love of learning, all through play. In addition, CACC participates in the Raising a Reader Program, which promotes improved academic achievement by involving families in reading with their children.
