Preschool -Kaitlyn Wimble

Welcome!

Welcome to preschool! My name is Kaitlyn Wimble. I have been teaching preschool at WES since 2017. 

As a senior in high school I had the opportunity to intern in the preschool program here at Waitsfield. It was during that time I decided I wanted to work with young children and went off to study early childhood education at UVM. I continued my partnership with WES during that time, and came back full circle after graduation.

Program Philosophy:

Our program is built around what we believe are children’s rights and needs. We are inspired by some components of the Reggio Emilia Philosophy as well as through child-centered observations. We are a play based program that values children’s interests as the main force that drives learning. 

  To read more about our program and our philosophy, check out our Parent Handbook in the "Resource" tab below.

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. 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]).
