Kathy is the Administrative Coordinator at Lakehills Montessori.

Hi, my name is Kathy Doherty,

I was born in Illinois and remained there until I married.  I have lived in Puerto Rico, CT,FL,NJ,TN,LA and for the last 28 years I have been in Texas. My husband and I have been foster parents in several states and have always loved being with children.  I have worked in the education field for the past 30 plus years.  I began in a classroom for special needs and then spent 25 years at a facility for individuals with autism. My oldest daughter is an AMS/AMI certified teacher so I have been learning about Maria Montessori for a long time.  

When I moved to Austin 6 years ago my grandchildren were enrolled at Lake Hills Montessori. I learned they were looking for substitutes and that began my career at LHM.  I have been a substitute, a primary classroom assistant, extended work day assistant and for the past 3 years have worked in administration as Administrative Coordinator. I enjoy connecting with the children and learn something from them everyday.

I am married, have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.  I love spending time with family, I enjoy traveling, going to the movies and reading.
