Teachers and Staff
Mrs. Lynda
Preschool Director and Teacher
Hi! My name is Lynda MacDonald and I have been at King of Glory going on my 15th year. I have about 40 years of experience in the field of Early Childhood Education and I am continually learning new things. I am in my 6th year of being the Director at KOG and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful staff to support. I have taught each age of preschool, but the age I am teaching now is my favorite. I am married to my husband, Michael, and together we raised 3 boys. Two are married with 2 children each and one is in New York getting his Masters in Theater Arts at PACE University. We might see him on Broadway some day.

Mrs. Paulette
Lead Teacher, Room 1
I am Mrs. Paulette Maiden and I am thrilled to be a part of the King of Glory Preschool. This 2019-2020 school year is my 12th year here, and I have really enjoyed getting to know the children who have come through my classroom during this time. My husband, Chuck, and I live in Newbury Park. Our daughter, Mackenzie, is a graduate of King of Glory Preschool, and we couldn’t be happier with all she learned and experienced while here. I am looking forward to another successful school year for us all!

Mrs. Charlene

It is my privilege to teach the two year old children. I have lived in the Conejo Valley since 1964. My husband of 39 years, Brian, and I share one daughter. My daughter, Sara, and her family bring us tremendous joy. I love being Grandma! I hold an AS degree in ECE. Sharing Art, reading books, music, singing & dancing are my favorite passions to share with children. My goal is to help build a foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
