Our story
Ms. Kelly with students
Kelly McCartney (“Ms. Kelly”) is well-known in the South Kitsap community as “Master Rogers” - owner of Tae Ryong Taekwondo School in Port Orchard. Since opening the Taekwondo school four years ago, it has been a community hub for families, with a focus on health and fitness.
Her passion for teaching started at an early age, declaring her desire to be a teacher in third grade! Ms. Kelly went on to hold child care and instructor jobs during college, while pursuing her teaching degree. She worked as a camp counselor, a nanny, and taught preschool at La Petite Academy.
For 12 years, Ms. Kelly taught both elementary and middle public school. In addition, she homeschooled her four children for over ten years. Her extensive and varied experiences in different instructional settings throughout the years contribute to Constantly Growing Learning Center’s positive learning environment. She has chosen to combine her love for the martial arts, her love for education, and her heart for children with a preschool - Constantly Growing Learning Center.
“I still must gain and keep the students’ attention, communicate my expectations, and be able to explain what is to be learned in different ways for different learning styles.”
— Ms. Kelly
