GROUP LEADER

Caitlin is excited to be a leading a group for Ocean State Kids all the way in Central Massachusetts. She is based in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, and the mother of two sons. Homeschooled throughout her own childhood and into high school, Caitlin developed a deep appreciation for child-led learning, curiosity, and education rooted in real-world experiences. 

She holds a B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders as well as a license as a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant and has professional experience working in both a school and clinic setting, where she planned and facilitated small social groups and supported children’s social and communication development. 

Caitlin also taught English as a Second Language in China, broadening her perspective on education and cultural approaches to learning. Through her work in the public school system, she came to realize that traditional classroom settings were not the environment she envisioned, particularly for her boys - and solidified her desire to homeschool her children.

Caitlin hopes to bring together her educational background, personal experience, and passion for play-based learning to create meaningful and enriching experiences for the children in her group.
