Something you may not know about me: I absolutely adore manatees and hope someday to be able to swim with them. I have been a part of ICP since 2016, and I love watching the daily progression of my students. Thank you for allowing me to spend time with your children!”
Alex Zickefoose

"I am excited to be one of the teachers in the Infant 2 classroom! My husband and I just moved back to Ohio from Raleigh, North Carolina. Our daughter, Ashton, was born in March 2017. I love to snowboard, and before Ashton was born I did both competitive dance and competitive snowboarding. I am currently taking CDA classes, and I’m looking forward to what this upcoming year brings!”
Jill Kolvachik
Lead – 3 yr
"My name is Jill and I am currently the lead teacher in the three-year-old classroom. I have a daughter in elementary school, and began working at Interfaith Campus Preschool in 2014. I graduated from Youngstown State University in 2009 with a degree in Special Education. Previously I graduated from Kent State University with a degree in Psychology. After working in psychology for a year I discovered I could more effectively help children through education. I enjoy working with children and being an active part in their development. You may be surprised to know I love to read and travel, and my favorite trips were to Africa and Spain!
It is always an honor to learn and grow with our students, and I am looking forward to the coming year!"
Mandi Kwallek
Lead – 4 yr
“My name is Ms. Mandi and I am the lead teacher in the 4-year-old classroom. I graduated from Youngstown State University in 2012 with my Associates in Early Childhood PreKindergarten Education. I have been in the childcare profession since 2008, but have only been a part of the Campus Preschool family for a short time. I love ICP! My husband and I have just moved from Mahoning County to Summit County. It’s hard to believe we have lived in this area for about 2 years already. We have 2 fury children and 2 scaly children. We love our dogs and reptiles to pieces. We also enjoy kayaking, hiking, and camping. Fun fact… I have worked at the Akron Zoo and a Bird of Prey rehabilitation center! I was also blessed to travel to South Africa on a safari. It is my passion to help mold the children of our future into confident and successful preschoolers. As a teacher, I believe play is the most important way to build a child’s mind and heart.”
Karie Cowles
Lead – Pre-K (Head of Preschool and School Age)
“I have been teaching here since 1993 and have enjoyed every second of it! I live in Jackson Township with my husband Michael and our 5 children. I attended Walsh University where I majored in education, with a specialty as an Intervention Specialist and a Reading Endorsement. I enjoy running, reading, and spending time with my family. My Pre-K classroom is decorated with my favorite character, Dr. Seuss. My favorite color is purple and my favorite food is PB&J sandwiches. My lucky number is 5 and my favorite quote is “Only you can control your future” by Dr. Seuss. I attend River Tree Christian Church and assist in the Treehouse Kidz Classroom (K-2) on Sundays. I am passionate about teaching young children and see every child as a unique individual. I look forward to a fantastic school year!”
