For as long as she can remember, Kerilyn has always wanted to work with children. Since the age of 11, she has been known to friends and family as the "neighbourhood babysitter". Naturally, she decided to enroll in the Early Childhood Education program at Algonquin College, immediately after graduating from high school.

Kerilyn graduated from Algonquin College in 2003. Throughout her studies, she successfully completed three teaching placements, one of which was right here at RPNS! Kerilyn has always strived to meet the needs of each and every child in her care. She enjoys working closely with the children and their families, and looks forward to seeing how the children will grow and develop throughout the year. She will continue to ensure that each child's developmental goals and needs are met.

In her spare time, Kerilyn enjoys camping, reading, reality TV, and spending time with her boyfriend of 6 years. She is also an obsessive fan of the band Great Big Sea!

The 2006-2007 school year is Kerilyn's fourth year at RPNS. This is also her first year as Assistant Director. She looks forward to all the new challenges ahead!
