Miss Kate
Director/Lead Teacher
Miss Kate has been a winter seasonal teacher for two years. She has enjoyed Little Dippers so much that she has decided to stay year round and work towards her CDA! Miss Kate is the staple of the center and is dearly loved by the children. She is caring and nurturing.
Miss Kate has a background in special education. With this knowledge, she is able to accommodate and acknowledge the individual needs of our children. This makes Miss Kate invaluable to our program.
Miss Darby
Moon Room Lead Teacher
Ms. Darby joined our team in February of 2025. She has spent the last few years in Utah as a Director and program specialist. She is excited to be stepping back into the classroom where she can use her knowledge of child development to create a home away from home for all of her students. She has her CDA and is constantly learning more to be the best teacher she can be. She enjoys using STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) to create new opportunities for children of all ages to learn and explore. She also has a love for the outdoors that she hopes to bring to the children.
