Jessica Bradt joins the Kinderwood team with a special connection to the program, with her daughters having attended - and continuing to be part of - the Kinderwood community. Her longstanding connection to Kinderwood gives Jessica a unique appreciation for the nurturing, play-based environment and sense of community that make the program so special. She is excited to now experience Kinderwood from a new perspective as a teacher and to help create the same warm, memorable early childhood experiences for today’s students that have meant so much to her own family.
