Abstract
It’s often been said that you can’t kid a kidder. Ann Chami ’83 would say that you can’t kid a kid.
“Children have the unique ability to discern how adults feel about them,” said Chami, a veteran educator who serves as head of lower school at Little Rock Christian Academy. “If they know you genuinely care for them and love them, they will do anything for you.”
Chami earned a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in early childhood education from Ouachita in 1983 and spent the next 20 years teaching first, second or third grade before becoming an administrator. Growing up in Pine Bluff, Ark., she had always loved school. She wanted her students to love it, too – especially her first graders. Nurturing them and laying a strong foundation for them to become lifelong enthusiastic learners began with caring for them.
