Katie (Chilly) Childers

REACH Teacher

katiec@kalonprep.org

I strongly feel that I was called to be a part of Kalon Prep Academy’s “Dream Team.” Blessed is an understatement of Chris taking a chance on me to impact Kalon in a positive way. I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher, however, I wanted to follow my own path, as my Mom is a stellar special education teacher and my Dad is an incredible retired business/sports marketing and work seminar teacher. I knew that health and physical education and/or special education is what I wanted to do. Before deciding to go back to school, I earned my health and fitness degree and have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years. I have been in education for 4 years now. I love being active, not just for the physical benefits, but the emotional and mental health benefits as well. I feel lucky to be a REACH teacher as each student is unique and talented in their own way. I appreciate the trust that parents, students, and co-workers have in me to always do my best to meet the needs of each child. I will go to the end of the earth to ensure that each of my students and all students at Kalon feel seen, heard, and welcomed.

Fun facts About Me: I have a wonderful husband and two mini aussies, Jaxson and Harriet. I am an old soul at heart. I enjoy being around my family, working out and boxing, and photography. “Quality over quantity” is a quote that I have really embraced over the last 2.5 years as time with ones we love are never long enough.
