She is married to Jason and they are parents to Lila (8 yrs) and Ezra (4 yrs). They are members of Fountain Square Presbyterian Church.

“We have been part of Ms. Katelyn's class at Seedlings Preschool for the past five years, and I cannot imagine a better start to our children’s education. She has taught our first, second, and now third child- and when the time comes, we’re crossing our fingers she’ll have room for our fourth as well! Ms. Katelyn has an incredible gift for early childhood education. She creates an environment that is warm, calm, and joyful- one where kids feel safe to learn, grow, and explore. Each of our children has thrived under her care, developing not only academically but socially and emotionally as well. We’ve consistently seen how well prepared they are when they move on from preschool. What stands out most is how intentional she is: she truly knows each child, meets them where they are, and encourages curiosity, confidence, and kindness. Seedlings feels less like “school” and more like a nurturing community where children are genuinely loved and supported. We are deeply grateful for the foundation Seedlings Preschool has given our family and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a thoughtful, high-quality, and deeply caring preschool experience.”
“Along with her skills and expertise as a teacher, Mrs. Katelyn truly has a gift: every child who walks through her door feels known, loved, and safe. This is the environment where children thrive. Her preschool is a place where kids are free to be creative, get messy, and grow and learn together. We couldn’t be more thankful to have found such a wonderful program.”
"We've now sent three of our children through the Seedlings Preschool. Though each child had a uniquely wonderful experience, all three graduated from Seedlings with two things in common: they were well-prepared for kindergarten, and to this day – no matter how wonderful their current teachers – they all say that Seedlings was their favorite year of school."
“Katelyn is THE BEST. Seedlings was the perfect mix of a homey environment where my son felt comfortable and well-known and structured enough to challenge him and to prepare him well for a rigorous kindergarten curriculum. He grew to love learning and to appreciate the good and the beautiful in the world (like Peter and the Wolf, Impressionism, and the butterfly lifecycle). We loved how Katelyn taught challenging and classical curriculum alongside a strong emphasis on play. Seedlings was an awesome start to our child’s learning journey.”
