Sherry Kose is the Director of our newest location, ILC Bristow.  She is responsible for all day-to-day operations of the center, and has a passion for organizing special events, as well as ensuring that the Compass curriculum is utilized in all classrooms. Sherry believes that supportive relationships are key in creating positive early childhood experiences.

Sherry started her career with ImagiNation Learning Center in 1992 while attending college.  Upon graduation, she continued working for us as a preschool teacher for several additional years.  In 1996, she took a position with Loudoun County working in the STEP Preschool Program.  Missing the strong “family” connection, Sherry returned to ImagiNation Learning Center in 2000 as a Preschool Teacher and was promoted to Assistant Director shortly after.  After many years as assistant director, coupled with her own children growing more independent, Sherry agreed that it was the right time to advance her career to include Center Director.  In her short tenure as Director, Sherry has gained confidence to trust her decisions and skills. She enjoys creating additional relationships with new families and teachers.  Sherry has over thirty years of experience working with young children in an educational setting.  She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from George Mason University.

Growing up in Northern Virginia, she currently lives in Manassas, with her husband and two sons (both ILC Alumni).  Sherry spends much of her free time watching her boys play baseball, spending time taking weekend trips and enjoying family and friends.
