She and her husband Doug have two sons at PIC: a Rainbow (soon to be Blue Jay) and a Bumblebee. Kate and Doug feel very lucky that their boys are under the care and guidance of such dedicated and thoughtful teachers. They also appreciate that all the other teachers and administrators in the Early Learning program know their sons by name and make a point to engage with them in the hallways and on the playground. It is another example of PIC’s strong community of parents, teachers, staff and students. Having grown up with a mother who is an early childhood educator, Kate knows the importance of quality early childhood education to the healthy development of children. As a Board member, it will be her goal to help PIC continue to support and develop outstanding teachers.
