Kylie Spiegel (She/her)
Interim Early Educator
Kylie Spiegel is a born and raised Vermonter who grew up living in South Burlington and North Hero. Kylie first entered the world of Early Childhood Education in 2019 working as a para educator for Burlington School District’s Essential Early Education Program. Kylie started working at Trinity Children’s Center (TCC) in the summer of 2022, which was a full circle moment as Kylie was once a rainbow friend at TCC. After working at Trinity for the summer Kylie knew she would want to return to Trinity full time and is excited to now be a part of the TCC team.
Kylie is currently working towards her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with plans to one day work in Special Education. During her work with both the Burlington School District and Trinity Children’s Center, Kylie learned the value of play-based learning and universal design within the classroom and continues to use these values in her teaching. She believes that all children must have a school environment that allows them space to grow in all the areas of development, and it is her hope to create the type of space that allows children to meet their own unique potential.
In her free time Kylie enjoys cooking and hosting dinner parties for her friends. Kylie loves to create new recipes and explore different types of cuisines while utilizing fresh ingredients from her farm share. She also loves to spend time outside, walking, playing lawn games, swimming in rivers and foraging for wild edibles.
