A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kay; thanks so much for your time!

I earned my MA in Teaching in 2017, primarily focusing on Language Arts/English in late elementary to middle school. I took courses in child development and special ed. Since earning my degree, I spent a long time working with animals, and am glad to be back to working with kids. I recently worked with 1-2 year olds and preschoolers.

Parents of children I have worked with report that I am described at home as a whole hill of fun. I believe in two rules: safe and kind, to both bodies and feelings; these words are the basis of my teaching and childcare philosophy. My secondary goal is for kids to have a great time and I strongly believe in the importance of play during critical development windows. The reviews are in: Teacher Kay rules!

I am CPR and first aid certified and registered/background checked with Oregon Dept of Early Learning and Care.

I’d love to hear from you!

With kindness,

KP

"Kay was an extremely competent co-teacher who always made my days easier. They are a science based professional— meaning that their methods are always the most up to date, effective, safe and kind methods available. Beyond the foundations of their practice is the care and compassion with which they conduct it. They are a steadfast guide through the tricky stages of learning to be alive. They have a special talent with neurodivergent/special. They can relate, and furthermore show by example that you can be a successful and happy adult because you are different (and definitely not in spite of it.) I would highly recommend Kay to any family and especially to those who would like to work with their children on reading, writing, and/or emotional regulation."
