I am Katherine Wilkerson, and I would like to introduce myself as your Director. I have a Child Development Associate Certificate (CDA) In Early Childhood Education and have nine years of experience working in Education. I have worked in Infant care, as a pre-k teacher, team lead, education coordinator, literacy intervene K-5, Assistant Director, and Director. I was a CMA for two years before switching to early childcare education.
I am from Midlothian, Virginia, and my hobbies are reading, painting, cross-stitching, and spending time with my family and friends. I have an older sister and a younger brother. We do “sibling dinners” one Wednesday every month.
I choose to work with children because I love to watch them grow, learn, and explore the world for the first time. My favorite part of the day is Getting to step into all the classrooms and spend time building relationships with all the children and teachers. I also love getting to know all the families and seeing and helping their children learn and grow.
Skipwith Academy is committed to supporting families and children in the communities we serve. We provide a variety of options for learning, not only based on the age of the child, but also his or her prior learning, maturity, and developmental stage. Our curriculum is based on a learning plan for meeting the emotional, physical, social, and cognitive needs of children using developmentally appropriate practices in a supportive environment.
