Meet The Team
Katie Wilcox-Stoskus, Co-Owner and Executive Director
Katie is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a mother to two fabulous kids. Katie has worked with children of various backgrounds for over 15 years, specializing in increasing communication, play-based learning, and utilizing positive reinforcement to teach social skills. Katie created The Village after searching far and wide for the right fit for her own children’s care. Katie and her family are residents of Carytown, and they are thrilled to fill a community need for other families. In her free time, Katie enjoys hiking, camping, swimming, and sitting around a fire with her family.
