In her new position as Director/Owner of ‘A Child’s Journey School,’ Linda is excited to fulfill a personal goal to help other families educate, develop, and raise their children. With love for children, gifts of patience and communication, and creative art talent, Linda brings many diverse skills to the school.

Linda is equally qualified for running the business and, more importantly, the business of education and nurturing children.

We believe learning is fun and that children learn best through hands-on play and active participation. Contact us today to start the journey for your child.

Hi, my name is Katherine DeLaRosa. I am originally from this area, born and raised in Woodinville. I went to Western Washington University and got my degree in Developmental Psychology. I earned my Montessori Certificate from Meipn in 2014. I have been working with children in a school setting for 14 years.

I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl, and I love working with children. I also love Montessori. It is wonderful to provide children with a rich environment filled with many learning materials to choose from, so they can grow and flourish at their own pace. It is exciting to guide each student on their educational journey. In my spare time, I love to sing in a choir, go running, and spend time with my Husband Peter and our puppy, Sammy. I’m excited to join and serve A Child’s Journey Community and look forward to a great year.
