Lori Rowe has been with PPM since 2002, and stepped up as Director in 2022. She earned her National Director Credential through the McCormick's Center in 2020. She was a member of The First Baptist Church in Lebanon for 15 years and helped with the children's programs, taught Sunday School and served on various boards. We currently attend Centenary UMC here in Lebanon. Her favorite thing about teaching at PPM is watching the children become excited to learn, introducing them to new things and watching how they grow from year to year. But most of all enjoys being surrounded by laughter, hugs and smiles daily.
Her family has in lived Lebanon for about 24 years. Her husband Troy is a Manager at SIA. Our daughter Morgan is a University of Southern Indiana graduate and is a Marketing Director in Michigan. We also have a son Garrett who is a IU graduate with a dual degree in Marketing Advertisement and Directing. Our family also includes Jax (a Corgi) and Lacy (a Papillion). Both of our children are PPM graduates; being a part of the PPM program has been a blessing to us.

Hello PPM families! My name is Kelly Ford. I live here in Lebanon with my husband, Ronnie, and our two daughters. Lily , and Lucy. Growing up in Boone County and being able to live as an adult in our community is such a blessing. Graduating from Western Boone and the IUPUI allowed me to accomplish my educational goals but also learn some really good life lessons! Working with children has been a huge part of my life, and PPM has given me a wonderful opportunity to enjoy and actively participate in the education of children. Spending time with my family, camping, and baking are some of my favorite ways to spend my time! Children’s smiles and excitement motivate me to plan lessons and projects to continue their learning and growing. Thank you, parents, for sending your children to us!
