Mrs. Kathleen Patrick
Mrs. Kathleen Patrick brings an ideal combination of experience, personal warmth, and enthusiasm to the Kindergarten classroom. With a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Kentucky and a BA in Elementary Education from Asbury University, Mrs. Patrick earned certification in the states of Kentucky, Wisconsin and Texas. Her teaching career began in Wisconsin as a Kindergarten teacher, then in Texas as she homeschooled her own children, and most recently at Cross Oaks Elementary School in Texas where she worked in a Pre-Kindergarten classroom.
Mrs. Patrick’s training in Spalding Method Phonics, experience with the Charlotte Mason approach to habit formation, and knowledge of the Grammar stage of classical education provide an optimal skill set to place our Kindergarten students on a path for success in the later years of our program.
“Studying the stages of human childhood development at the university level is valuable,” she says, “but raising my own children, and taking a break from a teaching career in order to homeschool them, was, let’s say, a bit more enlightening. Children thrive when given love and understanding in the early years – coupled, of course, with high expectations. JH Classical Academy understands and embraces these same assumptions. The chance to teach here, where my faith in Christ can inform my instructional approach, fits my definition of an ideal opportunity.”
Born in New York, Mrs. Patrick’s family moved to California and later settled in the Wisconsin, where she spent most of her pre-university years. She is excited to leave the heat of Texas and is looking forward to exploring the great outdoors and making Jackson Hole her home, with her husband Robert. Mrs. Patrick enjoys reading, bird watching, and gardening and looks forward to hosting her four young grandchildren for a snowy Christmas.
