Leadership
Renae Plant, Director
Australian native Renae Plant rescued Camelot Kids from closure on February 14, 2008, along with her husband Livinio, and a handful of parents who believed that Camelot Kids should remain a community preschool. Over the years Camelot Kids and Little Knights had flourished under Renae and Livinio's leadership. In 2014, 2018 & 2019 the school won the “Best For Your Kids” designation from the Silver Lake Chamber of Commerce and in 2016 was honored by Red Tricycle Totally Awesome Award as Best Preschool in Los Angeles.
Renae and Livinio oversee the day-to-day running of Camelot year round. Their three children, Ilan, Mateo and Deklan, all of whom attended Camelot Kids, also attended local public schools John Marshall High, Thomas Starr King Middle School, and Franklin Avenue Elementary.
Renae and Livinio served on the ‘Friends of King’ Board of Directors at Thomas Starr King Middle School for 2 years and spearheaded a campus-wide beautification project in 2014. This lead to the entire school being painted inside and out in the summer of 2015 and a full renovation of the school library.
