Kelsie Brown

Owner/Director

My name is Kelsie Brown, and I am the founder and co-owner of Kids Kampus. After attending Stephen F. Austin's Early Childhood Education Program, I spent 6 years teaching preschool and pre-kindergarten classes in Ft. Worth, Texas. After moving to Lumberton in 2010 I opened my home to become the first fully licensed childcare home in Hardin County. In 2013 I took a leap of faith and ventured out to open Kids Kampus' first preschool center. After the devastating loss of the center due to Hurricane Harvey in 2017, I partnered with my then Director and friend, Tiffiny Emerson to reopen as Kids Kampus 2.0. I have two daughters, Brylie and Katy, and a son, Colton. In my spare time I love watching my kids play sports, reading, camping, puzzles, and traveling. I also love giving back to my community by providing high quality childcare!

We are truly a family-owned and family-operated business. We hope to develop a mutually interactive relationship throughout The Kids Kampus community, not only for the betterment of our families and employees but for the betterment of the community at large.

Working with families and children has always been our passion. We embrace this opportunity to serve you and your precious families.

Tiffiny Emerson

Owner/Director

Hi! I am Tiffiny Emerson, the co-owner and Director of Kids Kampus. I am married to Mike Emerson and have three kids, Addison, Hudson, and Kase. I am a life-long resident of Lumberton and take great pride in my community. I have devoted years of services to several organizations such as Little League, Little Dribblers, Youth Soccer, Youth Football, and the L.E.A.R.N. committee for LISD. My husband and I are successful business owners in construction with 18 years of service in Southeast Texas. My love is being a mom and I get to utilize those skills everyday in my center. Providing a solid, loving, educational environment is my number one goal for our kids and community. I hope that Kids Kampus is revered as the STANDARD for early learning and childcare for Southeast Texas.
