About Kathleen

Hi there! My name is Kathleen (Katie) and I bring 8 years of hands-on experience in the field of child development. Over the years, I've had the joy of working with children of all ages in roles that range from classroom educator to program director, always with the goal of creating safe, enriching, and joyful environments for kids to thrive. My background includes leading expanded learning programs, teaching STEM classes at the elementary level, and building strong partnerships with families and communities to support every child's growth. I specialize in blending fun and structure-crafting activities that spark creativity, encourage curiosity, and support healthy routines. I believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether it's helping with homework, diving into imaginative play, or supporting emotional development, I approach caregiving with patience, empathy, and a deep respect for each child's unique journey.
