My name is Kathy Willyard and I started teaching preschool at Alpine in the fall of 2013. I moved to the St. Vrain Valley School district in 1986 from Southern California and am a Longmont High School alumni. I started working with preschool students as a teaching assistant at the Tiny Tim Center in 1997. Knowing that I wanted to teach this young population of students, I started my education in early childhood at Front Range Community College and completed my teaching degree in early childhood in 2011 and my Master’s degree in education focusing on early childhood special education in 2015 from Regis University. It is my hope to create a loving, exciting environment for our students to learn and develop a love for learning along with understanding and accepting of the differences that we all have. My husband, Tim, and I have been married for almost 33 years and have two boys; Danny and Andrew. We gained a daughter in law in April 2024. In my spare time I love paddle boarding, camping with my family, and time around a campfire. I look forward to getting to know you and your child.
