Hello, I'm Kathy and I am a paraprofessional here at the Wonderland Child Care Center. I am primarily placed with the preschool classrooms; however, I do work with the younger children we have in our center. I have worked in the school systems for 20 years as a substitute teacher and have worked as a paraprofessional for 10 years after that. I have been married for 32 years and have four amazing children. I am also a grandmother of 13 grandkids; so needless to say I've got quite an array of experiences with children under my belt. Taking care of children no matter what age or development is my passion. I have taken care of many children with different developmental delays, disabilities, and advanced or gifted capabilities. I provide our center with a unique set of skills and am able to help all staff no matter what child comes through our doors. My goal as a para is to not be the aid but to help make sure all children and staff are involved in any way, shape, or form. In the words of a wise man: "Tell me and I'll forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn" -Benjamin Franklin |
