Your Instructor
Kathy graduated from Indiana University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and master’s degrees in Educational Technology and Early Childhood Education from Western Michigan University. Kathy has worked in the childcare profession for over 36 years.
“As a
teacher of young children the most important skill I can impart to children is
a sense of competence. By allowing children to be an active part of the
curriculum, children gain a comfort with their abilities. Teachers must work to
provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where children can experiment with
new ideas and skills without the fear of failure. The competence they gain during
these early years will help them succeed in school in the years to come.”
My goal is to provide the support that teachers in the early childhood field need to gain confidence in their skills and abilities to provide the highest quality interactions and education for the children in their care.
