starInna and Genna are owners/directors of Parent's Choice For Kids Preschool and Childcare
Inna graduated with Masters Degree in Child Development and Education from Ukraine State University and Genna graduated from University of Minnesota. Prior to starting Parents Choice For Kids Preschool and Childcare Center, Inna operated an in-home daycare for 2 years, and prior to that taught History and Social Science for 3 years.
In addition, to her role as a Program and Curriculum Director of Parents' Choice For Kids, Inna serves as a Math and Reading Instructor at Kumon Center of Burnsville. At Kumon, Inna works with gifted and talented children from 3 to 6 years of age who are trying to excel in Math and Reading beyond their age level.
Genna has 4 years of experience working for a childcare center in Mendota Heights, MN. Running this preschool program allows them to enjoy their favorite activities of working with children and meeting a variety of new people! 
Genna and Inna met when they were 13 years old, in Middle School, and they’ve been best friends and soul mates ever since! They have a son, Aidan, who was born in 2003, and daughter Sareena, who was born in 2006. Genna is a big windsurfer, so he likes to spend a lot of his summer time on the lake. Inna loves archeology and has spent a lot of time on Archeological expeditions in the past. Due to the deficit of free time she now spends her time reading about archeology and watching the History Channel.

In the year 2009, I am entering into my ninth year of teaching preschool. I received my college education in La Crosse, WI with a degree in Early Childhood Education. After graduating from college, I was a nanny for a year and a half. Then I began teaching preschool at St. David's Child Development Center in Minnetonka, where I taught for eight years.
Aside from teaching, I enjoy card making and scrap-booking. It is a fun and enjoyable past time activity that takes a lot of patience and work. I am a big chocolate lover and enjoy Starbucks coffee, yummy!
I look forward to sharing my joy and passion for children as your child's teacher. I also look forward to partnering together with you as a parent to help enhance your child development.
