• Linda McKinney – Floater / Teacher Assistant-
• I began working at YPW in July 2013. I stared, in the early childhood field 1987 with the YMCA AFTERCARE SCHOOL PROGRAM at Northline Elementary. Since then I have been wearing different hats, from working in administration to working as lead teacher in various schools. Toddlers has been my specialty. I took college courses in education, psychology and human behavior. This knowledge really enhanced my teaching. The best part of YPW is the families we serve and my team members.
  Thank you for the opportunity to be able to teach and care for your precious one.
