Our Directors

Kari Ducali - Director

Hello! My name is Kari Ducali and I am the Center Director at Old City Academy! I have been in Early Childhood Education since 2015, when I started as a sub in a 2 year old classroom. Since then I have only continued to grow the passion I have for caring for the next generation of kids! I am a very blessed mom to 5 great kids! Three boys and two girls! My oldest is a senior in high school this year and my youngest is 1. I love spending time with my family traveling and making memories. In my spare time I love to read and travel the world learning about different cultures.

Ms. Lee - Assistant Director

My name is Ms. Lee and I am the Assistant Director at Old City Academy. I have been an early childhood educator here for 40 years. I have had the pleasure of caring for kids and now get to help care for their kids and grandkids! In my free time I love boating, hiking and spending time with family. One of my favorite things to do is watching the sun set with a nice cold drink in my hand and some great company.
