Educators:

Miss Kelsey graduated from Butler University where she studied elementary and early childhood education. During her time at Butler, she was introduced to the philosophy of education embraced by the early childhood centers in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Having worked in traditional preschool settings and feeling dissatisfied with the traditional environments, Kelsey connected with the Reggio philosophy of educating young learners. She values the warmth of the Reggio philosophy, the emphasis on relationship building and honoring children. Nurturing preschool students and discovering alongside them is one of Kelsey’s greatest joys in life and she is thankful for the opportunity to bring a Reggio inspired school to the Broad Ripple area. The young girl with a love for learning, school supplies, and a desire to grow into an inspirational teacher herself would never have foreseen this aspiration
coming to fruition, but, in the words of Loris Malaguzzi, “Everything is possible in the mind of the child.”
