Our Teachers

Katherine
​Bush​

Teacher

​​I attended Westfield State University and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I am EEC certified as an infant/toddler, and preschool teacher.  I have work experience in an integrated preschool as well as a child care.
I currently reside in Westford MA.
My Favorite Thing about Teaching is seeing the kids have fun while they are learning and growing into their own person. I love seeing the “lightbulb” moment when a difficult concept clicks for them.

Brooke Mackintosh​

Floating Teacher

​I live in Carlisle and am
honored to teach at the school where my children attend. I love what this community offers families with young children. The "village” that supports us as we raise three small children is a blessing. I love getting to know more children in our community as a teacher at
​CKH.

Patricia

I have always wanted to work in an afterschool program.  After moving to Ayer, MA; I took classes in Early Education. Previously I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the Mass College of Art. I love crafts, sewing and being creative with anything I can.

Kim
​Proulx​

Lead Teacher

I have been around young children nearly my whole life. While I had no younger siblings, I became an aunt when I was ten. Babysitting became a hobby and from there wanting to study ECE became the career path I took and have remained for the past twenty-eight years. Three of those years I spent giving my only child her early childhood education, as I stayed at home. The twelve years prior and eight years since have been spent exclusively with toddlers. It is my niche.  The lasting impression these kids have left on me is  hugely powerful!

Jane

Teacher

I have been teaching Preschool/Pre-k for five years. I worked at the Carlisle Public School as a Preschool Paraprofessional and as an After School teacher in Lexington before coming to CKH. Previously, I worked as a graphic designer in marketing for many years. I enjoy working with young children and especially like the energy and enthusiasm that the children bring to a preschool classroom.
