Miss Kaitlyn and Kokomo at Mt. Evans (Elevation: 14,000ft) Colorado
Hello! I'm a recent graduate of St. Ambrose University, where I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I worked at the St. Ambrose Children's Campus during my time at St. Ambrose, and over the summer I worked for the Rock Island Regional Office of Education as a preschool teacher at Skip-A-Long Child Development Center in Moline, Il. I student taught at Children's Village Hoover in Spring of 2011 so I'm pretty familiar with the Villages.
When I'm not teaching, I am usually riding my bike, rollerblading, running or walking my dog, Kokomo. I also like to scrapbook, hang out with my family and friends, bake, and visit Colorado. I am so excited to get to know the children and families of Ladybug Lane.

Miss Laura and her favorite nephew, Phoenix!
Hello! I look forward to getting to know each and every one
of you. But here is a little about me. I have grown up here in Davenport, IA
and graduated from West High School is 2009. From there I attended Scott
Community College and have my Associates of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education.
I have worked down at Children’s Village Hayes for the after school program PEP
since June 2009. Then in 2010 I worked as a substitute Para educator for the
school district. I subbed long tern in Ladybug Lane from November 2011 until
May 2012 when I became a full time in a room that I am very glad to work in.
When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my
family, especially my 2 year old nephew. I enjoy spending time with my dog and
going for long walks, but most of all I love teaching.
