Preschool -Kaitlyn Wimble

Welcome!

Welcome to preschool! My name is Kaitlyn Wimble. This will be my 7th year teaching at WES and 6th year as the preschool teacher. However, my ties to the school go back quite a ways. I attended WES as a child (in fact some of the teachers currently at the school taught me! Can you guess who they might be?). I also had a wonderful opportunity to intern in the preschool my senior year at Harwood. It was during that time I decided I wanted to work with young children and one day come back to the WES preschool program. Somehow that dream came true and I am back teaching in the place I love best. 

The preschool team:

Kelly Aiken - Preschool Assistant

Emily Andrews - Student support

Elizabeth Schwartz - Student support

Our Program Philosophy and Beliefs:

We believe that children learn best through play and hands-on experiences. Children are curious about their world and it is through that curiosity that we foster play opportunities. We are influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. We believe nature and children’s interests are the best way to support playful learning. We believe each child is capable, competent, inquisitive, joyful, and full of life. We believe that each child has a unique set of abilities. Each child deserves to have a caring and nurturing environment to learn in. We use strength based observations to help us understand each child and what they are interested in. This helps us to create a curriculum that supports all children in our care. 

   

We also value working together with families. If you have questions about development, curriculum, your specific child, helpful tips or anything in the realm of preschool, please reach out to us. We also have a resource section on this page with some helpful documents. I do try to keep it updated, but if there is a specific topic you need support with and don't see it on the resource list, please reach out to me ([email protected]).
