Our Teachers

Lauren Boutwell

Teacher

I have a bachelor’s degree from Lesley University in Human Development and Early Education. I am EEC certified as an Infant/Toddler teacher. I have been in the field for about five years. I live in Billerica with my husband and my three children, and our dog,​  My Favorite thing about teaching is Watching a child learn something new.  The excitement of learning a  new skill or concept and the sense of pride and accomplishment they have. It is amazing to be a part of that experience and the ability to be a part of each child’s journey.

​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.

Lily              Scheipers

Assistant Teacher

​HI! My name is Lily, i am a freshman at Umass Boston, and an assistant teacher here at CKH. I really enjoy working with children, and I've worked at girl scout camps the past two summers where I taught young girls how to sail. I also enjoy playing my acoustic guitar and learning and writing  new music. I look forward to helping the children learn and grow throughout the year, and hopefully they’ll teach me a thing or two as well.

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.

I am a 19-year-old who loves to work with kids. I was a freshman at University

My favorite thing about teaching is: Seeing the kids in the beginning of the morning when they’re so excited to be at school! When I’m not teaching: I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee, hanging out with my friends, and eating out.
