Hello and welcome to ECSE.  My name is Kelly Grothe, and I am the ECSE teacher.  This is my 4th year with St. Paul Schools, but I have been teaching for 24 years.  I am originally from Wisconsin where I went to the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire to earn my Masters in Early Childhood Special Education.  I moved to Georgia when I turned 25 and worked there for 25 years before moving to St. Paul. While in Georgia I taught prekindergarten, special needs kindergarten, second grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade.  I moved back up North to be closer to family who still live in Wisconsin.   I am happy to be part of the dedicated team at Early Childhood East Hub, and I can't wait to meet you and your child.
