About Katie

Hello! I'm Katie, a dedicated and innovative educator with over a decade of experience in primary and early childhood education. I've spent 8 of those years as a classroom teacher teaching kindergarten and first grade in both public and private elementary schools. My educational philosophy centers around child-led, hands-on learning, and I've received training in Ideal Learning Experience Theory from the Mass Customized Learning Alliance. My teaching approach ensures that lessons are not only captivating but also aligned with the curriculum. I prioritize the creation of a secure and nurturing environment for students, achieved through intentional relationship-building practices that emphasize high expectations and respect as core values. I look forward to working with your family!
