Keli Jackson
Director
Keli Jackson, affectionately known as Mrs. Keli is a founding member of The Willow School and has been joyfully working with infants and toddlers since 2008. Before stepping into the world of early childhood education, she followed a different kind of calling: music. A classically trained opera singer, Keli holds a B.A. in Music from Spelman College and is a proud member of The Atlanta Opera Chorus. She also earned her M.S. in Early Childhood Education from Walden University.
Keli has been married for 20 years to her incredible husband, Santana, and together they are the proud parents of a bright, spirited daughter who keeps life full of wonder and joy. Their home is filled with music, laughter, and love.
Music lives in Keli’s bones, and so does her passion for nurturing children. She became a teacher because she believes in the transformative power of connection, curiosity, and care. She’s not afraid to get messy, dig deep, or explore right alongside the children—because she knows the early years are sacred and foundational.
Every day, Keli is inspired to be a steady, joyful presence in the lives of children and families. Her mission is simple but powerful: to show up with intention and heart, so each child feels valued and each day holds something special.
