Hezekiah
Hi, my name is Hezekiah Kirkwood. I have several years of hands-on experience working with children in both daycare and before- and after-school settings. I previously worked as a childcare worker at Creative World in Belton and as a before- and after-school teacher with LINC in Kansas City, where I supported children of different age groups throughout the day. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve graduated and received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Science with an emphasis in Nutrition and Food Science, which has strengthened my understanding of child wellness and development. Overall, I bring patience, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with children.

Hayet
I have approximately 3 years of hands-on childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks old through 5 years old. I have worked as a Lead Teacher in daycare settings, including the Baby Room, Toddler 1, Toddler 2, Preschool, and Pre-K classrooms. For the past two years, I have worked at Stepping Above Academy, primarily as a Lead Teacher in the Baby Room, caring for infants starting at 6 weeks old and providing daily routines, sensory activities, developmental support, and a safe and nurturing environment. I have also gained experience working with the other age groups through Pre-K. I also worked for 4 months as a Lead Teacher in Toddler 1 at Kiddee College, where I planned activities and supported language, motor, and social development. I do not have a specific favorite age because I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and young children. I also have personal hands-on experience supporting my 6-year-old son, who has autism. This has given me valuable experience with communication, routines, behavior support, patience, and adapting activities to a child’s individual needs. I have completed multiple early childhood education trainings and have pediatric CPR and First Aid certification. Foundations for Safe and Healthy Early Care Facilities Module completed on 7/11/2024 Family Engagement in Early Care and Education completed on 8/29/2024 Building Skills in Two Languages completed on 9/26/2024 Managing Transitions In the Early Childhood Setting completed on 11/12/2024
