Meet our Director- Mrs. Robin luther
Robin is a native Washingtonian and has lived in the Woodbridge area for almost 20 years.  After
working in the tech field as a Systems Analyst, she decided it was time to stay home full time with
her three children.  She began homeschooling them and when the oldest was ready for college, she
returned to the workforce and enrolled the two youngest in school.  She was employed at a small
Christian school that provided education for 3-year-olds to 12th grade. She served as the office manager, assisting the principal with the day-to-day operations of the school, and coordinated many special events. She also taught technology classes to both the elementary and high school students including a Robotics class.  Robin holds a B.A. Business Administration and a Masters in Computer Systems Applications.  She has served in children’s church ministry practically her entire life including Sunday morning children’s worship, VBS, Inspire Church Game Changers and many other areas.  Her passion is educating children and equipping them to succeed in life, whether it be learning about a famous artist, how to use the computer, reading a classic book, making robots move to commands, helping to prepare a recipe in the kitchen, or equipping kids with life skills like how to be more confident, to persevere, be motivated and be a team player.  Robin generally just loves having fun with children, hence the IKC core value of FUN. Don’t be surprised if you find her one day highly engaged in reading a funny story to the kids, playing a board game, or shooting hoops.
