Kaitlin Wilmot
Grade 1 Teacher
Kaitlin comes to us with a decade of teaching experience and a soul deeply nourished by the Waldorf path; she carries a beautiful reverence for the protection of childhood and the natural rhythms of the "head, heart, and hands."
Having journeyed from the Midwest to the shores of Florida, she is now ready to put down roots here in Kansas City with her family. We invite you to read her full story below to discover her love for "treasure hunting" in antique shops and her dedication to the unique gifts of every child. We are so grateful to have "Mrs. Kaitlin" join our circle!
