Frances Murphy
Director of Early Childhood Education
Born and raised in the Philippines, Frances developed a passion for dance, music, and recreation at a young age. Her early passions led her to become a certified teacher in physical education, health, and music. In addition to her duties as Kids in the Game's Program Manager, Frances has been instrumental in the expansion of the company's dance and fitness offerings. A professionally certified Zumba instructor, Frances teaches step and hip-hop dance classes as part of KinG's after-school program. Always quick with a song to brighten the days of her students, Frances has mastered the art of fusing music with movement. A lover of all things musical, Frances enjoys attending concerts, recitals, and operas in New York City. When she's not singing and dancing, Frances enjoys cheering for her beloved Boston Red Sox baseball club and hunting down the best BBQ joints in the city. Last summer, Frances earned her Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) in Collaborative Piano from the University of Memphis.
