Kelly Woodward

Hi, I’m Kelly!
My journey with PTS began not as a teacher, but as a mom. I first experienced the impact of this incredible team when my own son was a patient, and I watched him grow into a confident, resilient, and regulated child. That experience inspired me to join the very team that transformed our lives.
I’m a proud mom of four and have homeschooled my children, even guiding one all the way through her first day of college. This background allows me to connect deeply with families who trust me with their children. I understand both the challenges and the joys of parenting.
In the PAL program, I cherish getting to know each child, their unique personalities, strengths, and the special spark they bring to the classroom. It is truly an honor to support children’s growth, learning, and lifelong success.
My goal is to create a warm, engaging, and nurturing environment where every child feels seen, valued, and excited to learn.
